They all look beautiful on coupes, but are they that safe from theft? Especially the soft top ones. A car thief could rip open the soft top convertible to gain access to the car interior. That might be difficult with the hard top convertibles.
Suggestions are welcomed as this is just my own opinion.

How will this solve this hardship we are experiencing now...

With how many comments now.

Not safe. Not in this regard, and not in an accident scene rio. There's this video of a convertible accident I watched, the car somersaulted and the niggi fell off on his neck smashing his neck on the hard ground.

Crazy sight.

I know

Hmmmm

Maybe this comment wont be important for the majority of people here. Some of you will ignore it, most of yall wont bother to read and it'll go unnoticed along with other comments maybe I'll be criticized for this but i just want to let yall know I'm selling potatoes..

I have one... and I use it once in a week
Mostly Sundays... is not an everyday ride..


Not that safe in this part of the world...

Their safety depens on where you take them to. Drive a convertble down a ghetto and area boys will deal with you and ur ride.

it depends

If it uses only batteries, SAFE
If it uses petrol ⛽ fuel, NOT SAFE

So all these comments and not one answer. Smh

Driving a convertible with the roof down is equal to driving around with your windows wound down. Very much discouraged whilst in Lagos traffic.

Theft-wise, newer car models are very difficult to 'hotwire' soft top or not (not entirely impossible though). You more or less have to have keys to be able to steal most vehicles nowadays. That is why most car jackers wait for the owners and steal vehicles directly from them because they steal the keys too!!! So even if your roof is down, is would be very difficult to steal unless they have the actual keys. They could ransack it though so it is always advisable to put your valuables in the boot of your car (convertible or not).

In a roll-over accident, the impact is usually on the tallest structures in the car and in convertibles, this is usually the people's head so very likely to cause serious or life threatening injuries.

Why would anyone own a convertible in Nigeria anyways...you'll be baked under the sun in the name of showing off. Your girlfriend (if you are a man) won't even want to sit in the veh with you with the roof down because all her bleaching will be ruined and there won't be any A/C for her.

But softtops make correct sense this scarcity period sha...can you imagine the kind of fuel you'll save from not having to switch on AC. Just be getting natural breeze!

The best time to drive a soft top in Nigeria would be in the evening/night when weather don cooool but OYO is your case if you are driving around in dodgy and questionable neighbourhoods like Mushin or Oshodi or those bridges (3rd mainland's sister).

Come to think of it...anybody who owns a softtop should be able to afford to live in a nice secure estate eg: Northern Foreshore, VGC, that one in Maryland, etc etc ...so you can show off inside there. If you can't afford to live in such an estate then you have no business buying a soft top . Better go and manage one Toyota Corolla and enjoy your small A/C.

Ordinary man do not drive convertible

You get poverty mentality ooo,

k

You get Nigerian mentality

How are cars stolen?
Entry is mostly through the door.
Even though the outer hood is soft, the roof is reinforced by bars
