As lockdown eases, road trips beckon - and with summer on its way, you can even peel the roof down

This week, convertibles:
-1. Audi TT Roadster 40 TFSI Sport S Tronic-
*£1548 deposit, £516 per month, 36 months, 10,000 miles per year*
Still the catwalk queen of convertibles but no diva, thanks to its undemanding nature and top-drawer build quality. There’s an engine and a drivetrain for everyone and, depending on engine, a choice of front- or four-wheel drive.
*More Audi lease deals*
-2. Mercedes-Benz E300 Cabriolet AMG Line Premium-
*£1968 deposit, £656 per month, 48 months, 10,000 miles per year*
Mature, secure and self-possessed, the E-Class is the one grown-up in the convertible community. It’s richly specced, comfortable and quite, even with the roof down. There’s a huge range of engines to choose from, too.
*More Mercedes lease deals*
-3. Mini Convertible 1.5 Cooper Classic-
-*£802 deposit, £267 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year*-
Small but perfectly formed, this Mini is a bit of a steal when it comes to convertibles. It’s better engineered than it needs to be, while its roof really does fold down flat, revealing even more of the little car’s vivacious character.
*More Mini lease deals*
-4. BMW 420i Convertible M Sport-
*£1530 deposit, £510 per month, 48 months, 10,000 miles per year*
Not the tautest or stiffest convertible but certainly stylish and, thanks to a metal roof rather than a fabric one, practical, with genuine all-weather appeal. Few rivals compare when it has its roof down and wind blocker up.
*More BMW lease deals*
