EnglishWhat is Convertible Car Magazine?
Updated
Convertible Car Magazine is an international motoring website focused on open-top cars — convertibles, cabriolets and roadsters. It is a magazine-style resource for research and reading, not a dealer or marketplace: you go there to read reviews, news and features, and to browse a buyers guide by brand or type, not to buy a car directly. It is useful if you are shortlisting convertible models or want editorial context before shopping elsewhere.
What the site covers
The site describes itself as "a leading international motoring website focused on open top cars," covering everything from compact city cabriolets to roadsters and exotic luxury supercars. Its stated content areas are:
- Reviews — in-depth write-ups of convertible models
- News — launch and model updates
- Features — articles on drop-top ownership and driving
- Buyers Guide — a structured way to browse convertibles for sale around the world
The homepage frames the appeal directly: convertibles "come in all shapes and sizes" and share "a sense of open-air freedom and greater involvement in the driving experience."
How the Buyers Guide works
The Buyers Guide is the most practical part of the site for research. It offers two browsing routes:
| Browse by | What you choose | Examples from the site |
|---|---|---|
| Brand | A manufacturer from a long alphabetical list | Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Tesla, Volkswagen |
| Type | A category of convertible | 4 Seater, 5 Seater, Convertible Supercars, Track Day Cars, Diesel, Petrol, Electric, Hybrid, Hardtop, Fabric Roof, Four Door, Four-Wheel-Drive, Luxury, Roadsters, Small Convertibles |
This dual structure is the main reason to use the site: if you know your budget or body style but not the brand, the type list narrows the field; if you have a brand in mind, the brand list takes you straight there.
What it is not
- Not a marketplace. There are no listings, prices or seller contacts described on the site — it points you toward convertibles for sale but does not sell them.
- Not a single-brand fan site. Coverage spans the whole market, from economy models to supercars.
- Not free of commercial elements. The site has a Subscribe section, so some content or access may sit behind a subscription. The available information does not state what a subscription includes or costs, so check the Subscribe page before relying on it.
Is it worth using?
Use it if you want editorial guidance and a category-based way to shortlist convertibles — for example, if you are deciding between a hardtop and a fabric roof, or between a roadster and a four-seater. Skip it if you need live inventory, pricing or dealer contact details; for that you will need a marketplace or dealer site. A sensible approach is to use the Buyers Guide and reviews to build a shortlist, then verify availability and price elsewhere.
