What is a "convertible"?
A convertible is a car with a roof that can be folded down or removed, allowing it to be driven with an open top. This type of car provides an open-air driving experience, which is popular in warm weather. Convertibles usually have either a soft fabric roof or a hard roof that can be retracted. They are designed for both style and enjoyment, often found in sports cars and luxury vehicles. While they offer a fun driving experience, they may have less protection from weather and noise compared to regular cars with fixed roofs.
