I love the outdoors. I love the wind, the sun, and even sometimes the rain. Really I should get a bike, but job conditions prevent that... SO, a convertible it is!
I stress I haven't test-driven ANY of the below (only taken out a Skoda Fabia Vrs so far, which I have to admit was quite fun) but from reading and looking these are my comments so far:
MX5 - Reliable, a favourite for many. However, looks a bit gay without any bodykit, and this tends to push the price up.
MG TF - Its a rover... many people seem to like it, but more seem to claim it is badly built, not that speedy and overall less then 100%.
206 CC - Leaky roof. Badly built. Looks like a hairdressers car.
Renault Megane - Similar comments to the MG TF. Not that much oomph.
Other considerations are, I'm 6'2" (although do have my driving position quite close to the wheel) and have no No Claims. So can't go too high up the insurance classes.
Have I missed the ideal model for me? Am I wrong in my comments above? Do you own any of the above or similar and want to add something? Do you want to sell it to me? Any advice is welcome and appreciated. Bring on the summer....
