nobody really likes riding in convertibles. they just say they do cause they think it makes them look cool. like have you even been in one for more than 5 minutes? its terrible. your hair gets totally wrecked and if your going fast you cant even hear anything cause the wind is so loud. plus every bug ever flies straight into your face. and dont even start with when it rains. you either gotta pull over and freak out trying to get the top up or you just get soaked and smell like a wet dog.
also, you’ll be either way too hot or freezing cold like 90% of the time. even if you live in like a warm place, the sun is way too bright and it burns your skin off or the wind is blowing so hard your face feels like its gonna fall off. its never actually just “perfect” like they show in movies.
people just act like they love it cause they want random people to see them and be like, “woah that person must be super cool and rich.” but really if they liked it so much theyd have the top down all the time. but they dont! its only when the weather is like 100% perfect which is almost never. so yeah. they dont love it. they just wanna show off.

Convertibles are the least cool looking thing ever. They make a car look old imo and look lame af.
More of a coupe guy myself
I once visited Death Valley. There’s a sign at one of the entrances saying welcome with a little car park. While we were there taking pictures 2 x 40/50 yo females with bandanas rolled like headbands pulled up in a convertible and i have never seen faces like these. They were a dark red color, clearly very dry and they genuinely looked like they’d suffered some degree of burning. Either that or both had a recent botox botch job. They didn’t seem to care though, and were soon back on their merry, face distorting, way.
Thanks for uncovering deep conspiracy of people pretending to like something that you don’t like
I like riding in them but not being seen in them. They belong on a windy country road
Couldn’t disagree more. I love open air driving, but hate how on display I feel. Targa tops are ideal.
Nah man if I could afford a convertible I’d be driving top down all summer long.
“Everyone who likes this thing is lying about it” is peak, bad reddit take.
What’s next? “People who claim to like boating are lying”? Because, spoiler, you have the same problems on most boats that you have in a convertible.
Not really convertible…or a car but, I’ve ridden in a SRTV numerous times. It was Hella fun
This is factually incorrect. I, like many people I know, love a convertible, or a riding in a jeep with the doors and roof off. Its a very enjoyable experience, especially in the summer, but even bundled up in cooler weather it can be really fun. So, not really an unpopular opinion, just wrong.
i agree, i dont get how tall people drive them aswell
Dude… a nice warm night with the stars out, music blasting, and the wind in your hair… it feels amazing regardless of who else is around you. I don’t love driving it in traffic because I don’t to be that visible to people.
So I guess upvote for unpopular opinion?
“Plus every bug ever flies straight into your face”.
Bro literally forgot windshields exist as he tries to push his hatred of convertibles onto everyone lmaoo
You know too much
My parents loved theirs way back when. They’d take it out on beautiful drives during the summer.
I like them… then again I’m nobody
This is the peak use case for a convertible, and it has to be a nice car, basically you’re in Monaco and you’re driving like 15 mph with the supermodel you’re paying but pretending to not pay for the privilege, and every other rich guy is like “dang he looks so cool” your status meter goes up by 5 and that’s it.
Past that we have moon roofs (rooves) convertible kind of unnecessary at this point
People supposedly not liking things the main character doesn’t like should be banned.
So tired and boring.
A Jeep with the top and doors removed, ftw!
I love them!!!
You literally yourself claim that people like it when the whether is perfect, which like, yeah. That’s the point. Are you surprised people dont like having the top down when it’s snowing?
I had a black convertible Lamborghi, it was beautiful and the top was automatic so there was no struggle putting it up or down. Also the weather is great where I’m at, Miami. I think you just had a bad experience my guy.
I have the top down on my car as much as possible. I hate being enclosed in a vehicle.
I love my roadster, I used to drive it almost every day, but now I work from home full time so I have very little reason to use it. As long as it wasn’t raining (and even then a light mist was fine), snowing, or prime pollen season, and the temperature was between 20 – 80 degrees out, I’d drive it.
Roll up your windows and the wind noise isn’t bad at all. It’s pretty much impossible for bugs to fly in your face if you have a windshield, are you sure you’re not confusing a convertible for a motorcycle? It’s also not very hard to look at the weather report. Even when it rains if you’re going fast you barely get wet.
I feel like you’re just an extremely soft and negative person.
Depends on the convertible really
The original car model was a convertible lol.
I loved my old 67 Galaxie 500 convertible. It was an incredible feeling to drive out on a moonlit summer night. Sorry not sorry
You’re acting like convertibles are expensive lmao
If no one liked something, what would be the point of pretending to like it? How would such a lie even start? This is the most nonsensical reddit trope
Def unpopular. I have a jeep Wrangler (don’t know if you would count as a convertible or other) but if ik ever in a bad mood and the weather isn’t cold or rainy it never fails to improve my mood so much just by taking a drive
Jeeps are kinda convertible. They are great !
someone hasnt gotten to ride in a convertible before huh
Oh really? You know what everyone really likes and dislikes? What are you doing bumming around Reddit? Go start your own marketing firm and retire next week!
I love convertibles, I rent one once a year or so. Nothing like the sun at your back and the wind in (what’s left of) your hair. Cruising down the road on your way to the beach. Awesome. I would never own one, the roof always leaks eventually, they’re noisy and if it’s cold, you freeze. So I guess I agree and disagree with you. Upvote.
Convertibles really only work year round in a place like California. We get rain once in a while and it’s a bitch but like California has good weather and cruising PCH in a convertible is nice
Lots of people who drive convertibles are not super rich.. just so you know.
