Nothing beats the open air drive experience. Why? The movies have umpteen examples to prove that. The hero and heroine driving off into the sunset, in a convertible, surrounded by sweet strains of music, isn’t that reason enough to dream of owning one? Happy Endings.
But before the naysayers cite traffic, dust and more reasons to break this dream scenario, we give you our top five reasons why choosing to own a convertible can be one of the best decisions you could make. Plus, if you want to enjoy your drive in luxury and comfort, then the newly launched Audi A3 cabriolet could be a nice year-ending gift to yourself.
1. Instant mood lifter
There are some things that coffee cannot do and for that a drive in your convertible is the perfect answer. It is an instant recipe for a sour mood dispeller. Get yourself in the mood, keep the soft-top up and once you are willing to let go, drop that hood and let the sun in. You can thank us later.
2. Advantage roof
Yes, other cars also come with a roof, but what they don’t come with is a retractable roof. In hot weather or rain, the good old roof comes in handy but when the weather is all pleasant and breezy, all you need is drop the top of your car and see the others look at you surfing the wind. In normal cars, however luxurious they might be, you are stuck within the car enjoying the AC rather than the weather outside. Plus taking the roof down can be done even at a traffic light, it’s that quick.
3. All eyes on you
It’s all about the looks. Take your neat, zippy convertible out for a spin and you will know what we are talking about. Attention, no matter the gender, is guaranteed. Let’s be honest just the fact that you’re driving a convertible makes a solid statement. You get to show how badass you can be and watch the roads open up for you. Who said you needed a huge SUV for that?
4. Just another name for fun
This is one car you will never need to think about when piling on the friends. It's a car that lifts your spirits even before the key is turned. It's an ideal car for a sunset ride on early winter nights and just right for a trip to the local ice-cream store. Be honest; does your sedate sedan inspire the same feeling? If you are getting a four-seater, then every weekend becomes just another excuse to go roadtripping with friends. And, if you are one those who love jamming to Pink Floyd or Beyonce, play those chartbusters at full blast and who knows a fellow music lover might just catch your eye.
P.S. It’s a great chick magnet and can help to solve a midlife crisis.
5. The view
The view is unbeatable. You can check out the traffic in front of you, beside you and see the admiring and envious glances you get as you go zipping down the road. Driving in solid-roofed cars, don’t do justice to that new pair of glares or that jacket you have been dying to flaunt. Let it show. No more blind spots to worry about. You will have 360 degrees of viewing as you switch lanes and even parallel park your vehicle like a boss.
So if you have some money to spare, the desire to feel the winds of freedom or are looking for a snazzy new drive, then a convertible is the way to go. Also tell us why you would like to own a convertible.
