Ford Mustang (seventh generation)

Mustang Convertible, seventh generation, 2024 model year onward Along with the Mini, one of the last relatively affordable convertibles with four seats, and its 11.4-cubic-foot trunk, more than twice a Miata's, handles a real road trip. The power top still needs a manual latch released before it moves, which surprises people in a modern car but takes only a moment. The back seat suits adults for short trips if the front passenger slides forward; anyone with long legs will not want to sit behind the driver. The EcoBoost keeps running costs sensible, while the GT's V8 adds the soundtrack that makes an open roof worth having.
