We strongly advise considering your driving habits prior to choosing among the various fuel types. How many miles do you typically drive each week? Are your drives mostly short trips, or do you tend to embark on longer routes?

If you primarily drive short distances, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol is typically a good fit. For longer commutes, a newer electric car is a good alternative - especially with access to charging. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Despite the rise of electric cars, diesel can still be useful for long journeys and lack of charging options. Note that in some countries, high-emission diesel engines have been banned from entering certain cities.

Nowadays, many cabrios are suitable for year-round driving due to their high-quality hoods and weatherproofing. However, it's worth noting that convertibles tend to be heavier than standard cars.
