Both words can describe an open-top car, but they emphasize different features. „Roadster“ refers to a sporty, usually two-seater type of vehicle, while „Cabriolet“ highlights the foldable or retractable roof. If the description focuses on a sporty two-seater, „Roadster“ is more precise; if it focuses on the roof, „Cabriolet“ is the better choice.
