Question 2

Is there an electric convertible on sale new in Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the MG Cyberster is an electric two-seat roadster, and electric versions appear among other open-top models too. Each version shows its powertrain beside its list price.

Question 3

Can you still buy a new convertible with a manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a few: the Mazda MX-5 is offered with a six-speed manual. Most other new convertibles in Switzerland have an automatic gearbox.

Question 4

Should I buy a new convertible or a used one in Switzerland?

A new convertible brings the full factory warranty, roof mechanism included, and its first MFK inspection is five years away. A used one costs less, but check that the roof opens smoothly, seals well and its drains are clear.
