Which are the most environmentally friendly convertibles for you and your business?

When the sun is shining and the roads are clear there are few driving experiences as liberating as being in a convertible with its top down and engine purring. It’s a common dream amongst car owners looking for some motoring prestige to own and enjoy a beautiful roadster. Perhaps it isn’t as common for those same enthusiasts to ponder whether their vehicle is economical to run. In this age of environmental awareness and green technology it is much more important than ever. With that in mind here are some of the most environmentally friendly convertibles on the market.

Fiat 500

The Fiat 500 counters the notion that small cars must be boring. It has a specially designed soft-top that looks great and is easy to operate. It is ideal for life in the city as it is dainty enough to fit into the smallest parking spaces yet robust enough to deal with morning commutes. With an average fuel economy of 60 mpg the Fiat 500 is one of the most efficient and economical cars on the market.

Smart ForTwo

If you want a convertible that looks good and is kind to the environment the Smart ForTwo is a great choice. It might only be a two-seater but this little car is stronger and defter than it appears. Whilst the Smart ForTwo isn’t as fast as other green convertibles its petite demeanour makes it a superb inner city vehicle. The only downside is it may be smaller than every other car on the road.

Mini Cooper

The Mini Cooper is a mid-range convertible averaging 39.2 mpg. The handling of the car has gained and sustained much prestige from sceptical automotive experts who ultimately have admitted that green automobile technology doesn’t equate to boring drives. This popular car is one of the most stylish vehicles in its class mustering a fully kitted interior to match its durable soft-top hood. This car looks as good as it feels.
