MAZDA MX-5 RF

This stylish hard-top convertible from Mazda offers the best of both worlds. UK drivers buy more convertibles than any other country in Europe – and the MX-5 RF is a practical option in any weather. With its hard-top roof in place it resembles a smart coupe, but when the sun makes an

appearance it folds away, in just 13 seconds, to become an open-top sports car.

Inside it’s stylish, well-built and minimal with a chrome trim and easy-to-operate touchscreen infotainment system that connects to your smartphone. There’s a choice of two petrol engines and an automatic or manual gearbox.

As you’d expect from a compact car like this, storage isn’t a strong point, but what it lacks in practicality it makes up for in playfulness. Sales of convertibles have soared among women over 50 in recent years and the MX-5 RF is the perfect car to take for a spin on favourite country roads.

From £22,295
