This guide is a compiled list of the top-performing 2008-model year convertibles in J.D. Power and Associates' key automotive research studies. The studies include the 2007 Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), the 2007 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, and the 2007 Initial Quality Study (IQS).

BMW Z4: This sporty 2-seat convertible replaced its predecessor, the BMW Z3, in 2003. With a power-operated soft convertible top, the Z4 has proven itself as not just fun to drive, but dependable as well.

After three years with the roadster, original owners report a very low number of problems, pushing the S2000 to the top of its segment in the 2007 VDS. The EPA has rated the 2008 Honda S2000 at 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway. It is only available with a manual transmission. The 2008 model year sees the addition of a lightweight "Club Racer" edition with upgraded suspension and seating, and an aerodynamic body kit.
