Pros and Cons of Retractable Roofs in Your Land Rover

With Land Rover aficionados getting excited about the upcoming Evoque Convertible, now is the right time to consider if getting a vehicle with a soft-top is the right option for you. Getting a car with retractable roof is not just about looking fantastic with the top down. Just like any other car, a vehicle of this type has its own share of pros and cons.

Pros

It DOES look fantastic – many have this fantasy of driving with the top down on a sunny day, with the wind running through their hair. It’s safe to assume that vanity is the foremost reason for many for getting a convertible. It just looks damn cool.

Greater visibility – with the top down, nothing obstructs your view of the road. This means no blind spots and you can see the sides of your vehicle clearly.

Unlimited headroom – for drivers who are unusually tall, getting into the car without bumping their heads can be quite tricky. Getting the top down is an easy solution to the problem.

Cons

Limited trunk space – convertible cars are known to have poor trunk space, which can be a problem if you haul stuff in and out of your car on a regular basis.

Safety – if you have kids, a convertible may not be the most sensible car to have. Also, convertibles are known to be thief magnets because of the status symbol it provides to the driver.
