Oklahoma City Used Car Drivers Choose Between Convertible VS Hard Top

April 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Are you looking for an Oklahoma City Used Car buyer? Are you facing a mid-life crisis and looking to upgrade to something that expresses your newfound personality? Considering a convertible car or Jeep? Look no further than Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge off the mile of cars in Norman, Oklahoma!

Convertible cars and Jeeps are sporty, luxurious, and often thought to be “more fun” than other vehicles especially when you have gorgeous Oklahoma weather like this week! The roof on a convertible either retracts or is removed, providing an open-air driving experience.

The spring weather is the perfect time for Oklahoma City Used Truck owners to hit the road with the top down. The term “hardtop” refers to a solid-roof vehicle or a convertible with a retractable or removable hard top.

Here are a few pros and cons of convertibles vs. solid-roofed vehicle:
•   Convertibles allow for more airflow and a more enjoyable driving experience
•   Solid-roof vehicles provide more protection for the occupants in the event of an accident or rollover.
•   Convertibles have smaller rear windows, creating large blind spots.
•   Convertibles typically limit trunk space, as the roof retracts and folds into the truck. The exception to this is a removable hardtop convertible

There are two types of convertibles:

Hardtop - A hardtop convertible car has a retractable roof, which folds into the trunk of the car. Hard tops are more durable and more secure than soft tops convertibles. In the event of an accident (with the top up) a hardtop will better protect the occupants of the vehicle than a soft top.

Soft top - Convertible cars and Jeeps with a soft top weigh far less than hardtops and take up less trunk space when the roof is retracted. Newer model soft tops are also designed to insulate from noise and the elements.
