At the risk of being flamed, have you looked at a Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible?

Sorry, the poster is looking for a FUN car. The G6 is definitely not fun to drive.

---

Meh...the talk had turned to convertibles so much that I forgot the actual subject line of the original post.

evo? subie?

used bmw 3 series coupe/sedan.

All good suggestions, and I certainly haven't ruled them out. BMWs, like a 330Ci, as sexy as they are, don't offer a lot of bang for the buck. They're damn sexay, though.

Here's a thought...do you have your heart set on a late model car?

If not, there are tons of '60's and '70's era Alfas or Fiats available. You could get in relatively cheaply, they're pretty straightforward mechanically so you can do your own repairs, and c'mon....what's cooler than an old Italian drop-top?

You'd have something very few people have now days, they're great looking, you can flog 'em around a track too, and you'd be preserving a piece of automotive history.

Just another thought for you to toss in with the rest.

Whoa...that porsche is in great condition!

I hadn't really considered an older roadster...hmmm. I'll toss that idea out to the fiance and she what she thinks.

Hopefully the older roadster suggestion will redeem me from the G6 hardtop suggestion!
