The 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet is the uncommon convertible sports car you won’t mind driving with the top up. Cars.com reviewer Joe Bruzek says the hardtop convertible compromises little of the coupe’s driving experience. The all-wheel-drive droptop’s 400-horsepower six-cylinder engine is paired with a seven-speed manual transmission and overall, the car does a surprisingly good job of keeping out road noise. Still, a simple-to-operate, quick-lowering top and one-button wind deflector will likely help make that top-up driving benefit something you only use as a last resort. Watch the video above.
