[单项选择]Summer is winding down, but it’s still not too late to put the top down and hit the road. For those of us who can’t spring for a Corvette or a BMW, here’s some good news: Two of the coolest convertibles on the road are also more affordable --Volkswagen’s New Beetle and Chrysler’s PT Cruiser.
Both start at about $20,000, seat four, and get between 22 and 24 miles per gallon from their four-cylinder engines. Each has fully insulated cloth tops with rear windows made of real glass, which makes them comfortable to use in winter. Front-wheel drive helps make them safer to drive over snow and ice. Both also offer high-performance turbocharged models starting at about $25,000. Both have bulging fenders and cool, retro personalities.
Beyond that, they’re very different. The PT Cruiser focuses on practicality, while the Beetle is more fun to drive.
That fun comes from the car’s chassis, suspension, and overall structure. Crank the steering into a turn and the car follows li
