Seeing as there aren’t many large drop tops out there, small convertibles are relatively common and easy to find. These sporty models are usually a lot of fun, and there’s plenty of variety to choose from within this segment. There are affordable options like the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and there are significantly more expensive and luxurious offerings that include the Porsche 718 Boxster. An array of new subcompact and compact convertibles are available for 2025, and these are the best of them.
Vehicles are assigned a BuzzScore in relation to their direct segment competitors, and as such, vehicles in this list, while similarly scored, do not necessarily compete directly against one another. Find out more about how the BuzzScore ratings work here. These lists are continuously updated with the latest BuzzScores and vehicles as they become available.
