2 weeks in california for xmas: convertible or too chilly?

[bcadou]

Hi gents

i ll be doing a road trip on the Californian coast from 15 dec to 1st of jan. Have only booked the flights, will probably drive from LA to San Diego, maybe Vegas etc... No real route plan.

Anyway, would you take a convertible (mustang)? Or i ll end up drive 90% of the time with the hood down as it will be too chilly? Any thoughts? thanks

price difference is about 1k for mustang v8 vs normal "premium car" like Merc CLA, for 15 days

thanks for the quick answer JulianHJ

1k gbp unfort, I use SIXT but I also used a couple of car rental comparison sites, same results so far. I averaged the price difference to 1k to make things simpler but here are the actual number for 16 days, LAX to LAX:

CLA = 850 gbp
Mustang ecoboost = 1500 gbp
Mustang gt = 2000 gbp

Also found a convertible beetle for 1k gbp with Europcar if I use my airline search engine (that probably uses a discount scheme since i book flights tickets there), could be sweet spot?

what would you do?

thanks again
