Looks like you are going May which is love bug season they are harmless but not nice if you drive through a swarm with the hood down just a though

i personally wouldn't go for a convertible just because there's no escape from the sun in it if you have the roof down and they do work out very expensive for what they are out of the two I'd just go for a regular car. We always get some kind of SUV but they are big for 2 people

Drop tops are great for certain trips climates thinking Route 66 Euro road trip but Florida May to October perhaps not.
I stand by post of have a nice sporty number with air con for same ££, drop tops like motorbikes great when weather/little traffic fantastic drive a drop round M25 you will in best possible terms stink same on I4.
Nothing wrong with them just better available to have more fun with if are a petrolhead.
As posted is each and everyones own choice.

If there is only two of you, I would get a mustang or Camaro convertible. We have had one the last twice we have been and it has really enhanced the holiday experience.

Think old school Camero still available but wont last long muscle cars US style will be history sadly passing into history unless you wish to ship and buy one.
