Four seat convertibles belong to a common format despite the average family car having more than four seats. This is because of the chassis and body design required for a convertible car. The rear seats in a convertible are generally narrowed by the thicker side walls which will enclose the roof when it is folded. This alone makes many convertibles only suitable to seat four. There is also the issue of chassis design. In order to provide a chassis stiff enough to give an acceptable drive when a roof is removed from a previously hardtop car, engineers must make considerable modifications. These changes usually include reinforcement of the sills - the structural box sections on either side of the car below the doors. In addition, a central beam may run down between the seats. This will give the floor a W cross-section and remove any leg room for a centrally seated passenger. The best four seater convertibles combine practicality with open-air fun. There's plenty to choose from to suit any budget, from the mighty Bentley Azure down to the lovely little Fiat 500C. |
