When you want to have the sun on your skin, the wind in your face, and nothing above you but the sky, there’s no substitute for a good convertible. While the drop-top isn’t as popular as it once was, there’s no denying that today’s convertibles are the best, from their often power-operated, hard-shelled tops to the technology inside and the performance under the hood. While it’s true that many of the vehicles sold as convertibles these days are luxurious, sporty, or both, you don’t have to break the bank to enjoy modern open-air motoring. According to Autotrader.com, here are the 10 most affordable new convertibles:
