Description:
I've got an itch... and the only cure is a convertible...
...so, my dad has put the worm in my ear... I finally have a good paying job, and my Mazda2 ain't getting any younger... I *may* go take a look at a Miata retractable hardtop in the near future, just to see what it's like... I dunno... who knows what my reaction will be... |

The Abarth isn't all that fast, it's not all that fun, it's ridiculously loud, and the servicing costs are atrocious. |

#46, If you want to get a car at all, you're going to have to relax some of those criteria. Not looking at anything older than 2011 is limiting enough, but insisting on a convertible for under $24,000 that's smaller than a Mustang but isn't as small inside as a Miata, and doesn't completely gargle balls like a Fiat? Forget it.
If you're willing to go back a few more years, you could pick up something like a late 2000s BMW Z4 with fairly low mileage for just under $20,000. A later-year Honda S2000 would be even cheaper. A mid-2000s Porsche Boxster would also be in your price range. You could really save quite a bit of money on a car of this era, even one that needs work. |

#49, Honestly, I see as a new Mini in terms of long-term reliability. I guess the only thing that worries me is FCA's attitude towards transmission slippage, and engine failure. I suppose, since you live in FL, winter driving is out of the question. I guess my main concern comes from the fact that every single "upmarket"/fun vehicle we've bought used has turned into a moneypit by about 80k miles or thereabouts. |
