    Guest Post: Cars for the UK Summer

    Summer is fast approaching in the UK, and as soon as the sun does shine, drivers all over will be looking to drop their convertible tops. It’s always time to take a drive when the sun is in a clear blue sky, and here are our favourite convertible cars.

    Audi TT convertible

    The Audi TT has been with us for a good while now, but it’s still one of the coolest curvy cars in town. And even more so with the fabric roof folded away, so everyone can see you as you bathe in the surely soon-to-arrive spring sunshine. The original Audi TT was launched as a coupe, but it was clearly always intended by Audi to go topless at some point, with its rounded and tightly packed coupe lines lending themselves to that convertible look so wonderfully. In fact, with the roof stowed away, the Audi TT is one of the very prettiest convertible cars you can buy today. A little feminine perhaps, but most convertible cars are. Stylish, sleek and desirable, an Audi TT convertible has always been high on the wish list of well-heeled drivers, but prices have come down a little thanks to the awful weather that we’re all suffering, so why not take a look to see what drop-top TTs CarShop has in stock? You might be surprised by what you can get for reasonable money, and when the sun finally pokes through these freezing clouds you’ll be smiling the widest.


    BMW M3 convertible
    If you want some pretty serious speed to go with your roof down motoring, then the BMW M3 convertible is definitely worth your test drive attention. The convertible variant of the one of the most well respected sports saloons is one of a very limited number of convertible cars that still manages to look tough. And that tough look is backed up by impressive performance. Your budget will dictate which M3 convertible you can stretch to, but the current yet soon to be replaced car, with its 4-litre, V8 petrol engine and over 400bhp to play with is one sexy way to really mess up your hair. Friends with comb-overs will not thank you for buying one of these V8 bad boys! Prices for the V8 M3 are getting seriously attractive right now, but convertible  prices are likely to creep up again with the temperature outside.

    Caterham 7
    If you’re talking about the purest form of open top motoring, it has to be the iconic Caterham 7. This most famous of British sportscars just gets better with age, and with used prices starting at around £10,000, they are within reach of more real world budgets these days. Two seats for two people to have double the amount of fun in, these fast and so-fine-handling cars are as much fun to drive as they are stunning to look at. So much grip, so little weight to pull and rear-wheel drive, the Caterham 7 will attack your favourite back lanes with as much gusto as you can handle. Any driving holiday or road trip will only get better in a Caterham 7, but mark my words, when that spring sunshine eventually pops out, the used prices for these sweet little sportsters will only climb and climb.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
