Should you buy one?

Though it seems strange to tout any convertible car as ‘practical’, by the standards of the class that’s exactly what the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet is. It’s the drop-top for those who don’t want to compromise their comfort or convenience – in essence, it’s a normal car that you can take the roof off.

Though that won’t appeal to keen drivers (or aesthetes, who might liken the T-Roc Cabriolet to a bathtub) for those who just want something to cruise around in the open air in, it’s a very strong proposition, and one that’s easy to live with everyday.

The interior is a bit dowdy for a convertible, but it’s comfortable and the included tech is excellent. It’s a shame, though, that you have to specify the top model for LED headlights, though safety kit is generous across the range.

So, do we recommend one? Well, yes, given that right now, the T-Roc Cabriolet is the only choice of thise type on the market right now. You could buy a MINI Convertible and enjoy a sharper driving experience, but if you need space, this is by far your best option.
