Hyundai Santa Fe

The Korean crossover is the most similar to Mitsubishi in size, although it is much harder, but he is slower not only because of this, only.

Hyundai Santa Fe is diesel, and the power of its engine is exactly two hundred horses.

Both cars have a reasonably modest appetite and playfulness inferior to the Japanese and German, although the supply of traction of the “Santa” is the largest in the review. This is important for the cross-country.

Alas, most passenger ride height even with four-wheel drive and a good way of course is slightly inferior to the vehicles of known brands.

Mazda MX-5

This vehicle has almost the same price range with open Mini and Beetle.


We have already mentioned that the new Mazda MX-5 received the “Car of the Year” title both at home and in the global competition of World Car of the Year. This car has been named as the best car in the world

But ideologically, this machine is not very similar to the front drive retro cars: low two-seater roadster – the only car in the survey, which has a classic rear-wheel drive layout and a double wishbone front suspension, like all self-respecting sports car.

Basic half litter engine is the most powerful in the survey, though without supercharging dynamics – the most cheerful, hand “six mortar” – the only option for the transmission.

But the convertible roof (with the hand) – is fabric, with only the aluminum front end than the current “five” is radically different from its predecessor with a hard convertible top.

By the way the trunk at the roadster is the smallest in our group, since more than half of its volume is taken by the folded top. But a new generation of the roadster has become smaller and lighter, which had a positive impact on handling and driving pleasure, which does not need a heavy duty motor: masthead unit – two-liter 160-hp.

Mini Convertible

This machine constantly competes with the Beetle, and is also available with an open body.


The design of the vehicles as well are vey similar: soft folded roof with electric stacked on top of the trunk, which is then much smaller than the “Volkswagen”, as Mini and very compact.

The rear seat is also provided solely for two passengers.

Yet it is more driven model of Mini version, and therefore the filling is more serious here: the rear suspension – independent multi one against primitive beams in the Beetle, and a top two-liter turbo version of the John Cooper Works produces 231 hp.

However, the base engine with the same displacement, like Volkswagen, has only three cylinders and the car accelerates to 100 km / h only slightly faster than the Beetle. By the way, this option is almost on a second worse than the similar Mini One with a closed body.

In all versions, except for One, as an alternative to the six-speed “mechanics” is provided the classic “machine” with the same number of gears.

In Europe for example, a basic One Convertible Beetle is even cheaper. But the 136-hp Cooper is more expensive by about 19 800 $. It is based on the same configuration, up to the wheels.

Here, too, there are many options to stand out. They are not cheap: alloy wheels in various designs with bore diameters up to 18 inches, weight variants of exterior and interior design, Salt packs, the Pepper and Chile.

Plus navigation, leather, the climate and cruise control, camera, electric, light and rain sensors, premium Harman Kardon audio system, and so on – you can order anything you like, if you have money. But electric roof and complex security systems – by itself, by default.

Volkswagen Beetle Cabrio

Let’s start with the same Audi, – these cars both A3 and the new Beetle are certainly similar. And the Beetle Convertible and the base three-door hatchback are not based on the MQB platform, they are made on progressive “carriage” of the old Volkswagen Golf. 2016 Volkswagen Beetle Dune. You Gonna Like It

By the way, unlike of many convertibles, the Beetle is a full four-seater.

For example the back seat of cabrio is located as well as at a hatchback.

But still here can be only two passengers: the drive mechanism “ate” some space width, and the sofa has become by 15 centimeters more narrow.

For the same reason, the trunk decreased by 85 liters, and even the rear axle have slightly modified by moving the wheel back to 14 mm.

Powertrain remained unchanged: a basic version – the 1.2-liter turbo engine in the block with a mechanical “six mortar” or a “robot» DSG, options – the 1.4-liter petrol unit and a two-liter turbodiesel in different versions.
