The cheapest convertible is cheaper than Mazda MX-5, and the young man's first convertible has been found!

Young people all have the dream of a convertible. This dream may be influenced by TV series when I was a child, or I may be fascinated after seeing a convertible sports car in a street. In short, young people can't cope with a convertible, just like a frivolous teenager who can't extricate himself at a glance when he sees a girl full of youthful vitality, which is precisely the infinite "magic" given by the convertible.

I don't know if you, like me, visited all the used car websites in order to buy an affordable convertible, but even if you visited the websites, you will find that convertibles have always been toys for the rich, and ordinary people don't have that much money to throw into them. When it comes to buying a luggage case with hundreds of thousands of dollars, most people will be forced by various pressures to choose a reliable grocery car, so over time, buying a convertible has gradually become the talk of many people.

Yes, the world of adults is often bitter. As the pillar of the family, we should not only ensure food, clothing, housing and transportation for all ages, but also think about the future planning of the whole family. The double pressure of mortgage and car loan has made a man breathless by a "heavy burden", let alone buying an impractical sports car. So, the older you get, the farther away you are from the convertible in your heart. Many people even think that the Mazda MX-5, which has always been cherished and claimed to be the best seller and cheapest in the world, can't afford it, because even it, its price has reached 3.39-3.4 million yuan, and its new generation model is still limited to 500 units in China, which undoubtedly makes most people miss it.

Indeed, many things happen, just like Mazda MX-5, which has a small body shape and extremely light curb weight. Although its horsepower is not big, it is very light, which lays a good foundation for it to enjoy driving.

Now if you want to buy another Mazda MX-5, the only way may be to buy a used car. Of course, domestic distributors can also apply for orders from Japanese headquarters, but it will cost more money and time, so it is not wise. Having said that, many people will certainly be tempted to ask: Is there a convertible cheaper than MX-5? Hey, don't tell me, the car is available, and the martial brother will come to talk to you today. who is it? It is the cheapest convertible, cheaper than Mazda MX-5 and cheaper than BMW 2 Series convertible.

The manufacturer's guide price of BMW 2 Series is 263,800-339,800 yuan. There are four models in the whole series, of which two convertible models are slightly more expensive, which are 309,800 yuan and 339,800 yuan respectively. Compared with Mazda MX-5, BMW 2 Series convertible version is indeed cheaper, so I think this 2 Series convertible version may become a new choice for young people to buy convertible sports cars.

Many people will think that the price of the 2 Series convertible is so cheap. Is it still a pure BMW convertible? Actually, it's not. I can definitely tell you that the 2 Series convertible is not the real thing. On the contrary, 1 series is still a BMW model that insists on uncompromising comfort after taking the road of sedan, lengthening and driving, and can still insist on using rear wheel drive at the level of 300,000 sports cars, which is something to be proud of.

Seeing the appearance, I have to say that the front face of this generation of 2 Series is one of the most successful designs of BMW in previous years. Compared with the BMW 1 series car that looks a bit awkward, its face value is obviously much higher. Slender engine compartment, short front suspension, long wheelbase and rear cockpit should all be the body proportion of the coupe. You can buy such a handsome BMW convertible for 300,000 yuan, let alone a traditional car.

Entering the car, there is still not much new idea in general. It's a typical BMW family design style, but you said you didn't like it, at least I didn't feel it. After all, BMW's interior is tired of looking at it. At best, it is attractive, classic and outdated, so I think the interior design of the 2 Series convertible version is quite eye-catching. The main reason is that it is BMW.

Looking back, the BMW 2 Series convertible has four seats, which means that it has better manned capacity than the Mazda MX-5, which is unmatched by a small two-seater sports car like the MX5. Although the seat for two people sitting in the second row is really uncomfortable, if it is a little girl, there is no problem in an emergency.

Imagine, if your girlfriend happens to have two best friends and you just pick her up, can you pull them all back in a 2-series convertible? On the other hand, MX-5 is definitely impossible. Therefore, the practicality of the 2 Series convertible is quite strong, which is also an important reason why I recommend it to you.

In the power part, the BMW 2 Series convertible on sale is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power 184 horsepower and a maximum torque of 270 Nm. Transmission matching 8-speed automatic manual transmission. As BMW's most widely used and dependent power system, although its power data is unremarkable, with the cooperation of the third generation Valvetronic electronic valve lift system, dual VANOS dual variable valve timing system, dual scroll turbocharger and in-cylinder direct injection technology, the engine can guarantee abundant torque output in almost the whole speed range. With the 8-speed automatic manual transmission (8HP45) from ZF, the driving pleasure is quite rich, so there is no need to worry about its weak power. The measured acceleration of 7.4 seconds at 0- 100km/h is satisfactory.

Summary: Why does anyone want to buy a convertible? In my opinion, buying a convertible is to reap the fruits of a beautiful dream planted by a man in his childhood. When we were young, we often fantasized about all kinds of things. When we really grow up and have certain abilities, we find that we can't do it at all. We are bound by the burden of family life, the support of parents and the support of children. Therefore, the dream of a convertible cannot be realized. However, the cost of buying a convertible now is actually extremely low, so if possible, buy yourself a treat or give it to your dear distressed wife. People live this life, only for no regrets!

By the way, one last reminder, if you want to experience the fun of a convertible, you can also rent one in Hainan. The price is not expensive, and more importantly, it is not bad to feel it in advance.
