KARTer 2nd Gear March 25, 2011 Share March 25, 2011 Most affordable and nice 2-seater roadster would be the Mazda mx-5 for me. Most affordable and nice 4-seater convertible would be the Volkswagen eos. i put 2 plastic seats at the back of my old uncle's pickup truck.... presto: open top (for rear passengers)!!!

Wira 1st Gear March 19, 2013 Share March 19, 2013 Hi guys sorry to bring up an old thread Am in the marketing for an 'affordable' convertible, probably second hand. Have shortlist to below : 1. Mazda MX-5 2. Opel Astra Convertible 3. Toyota MRS Any comments ? The Opel seems more 'worth it' as it is a 4 seater but not sure if driving experience is as good. Budget should be around $60K-$70K. Helpful comments are appreciated ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburger Hypersonic March 19, 2013 Share March 19, 2013 in terms of classic design... it has to be mx5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triston77 1st Gear March 19, 2013 Share March 19, 2013 How about a volvo c70? Decent performance, a real 4 seater and hard top. 2006-7 ones prob ard your budget i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kauctions66 Neutral Newbie March 19, 2013 Share March 19, 2013 Most affordable would be the 207cc if you dont mind the cabin size. I have driven both the ford capri xr3i if i recall correctly and mx5 1.6 1992 when i did my studies overseas more than a decade ago. Capri was like 8.5k and the mx5 was 15k...dirt cheap by Singapore standard. Mx5 handles well at high speed cruising 120-140km/h with top down. Given the age of the car, you have to look out for water seepage at the roof section. With the current RHT, sound proofing and water seepage is improved. Goes for around 10k depreciation per year, on par with some contis. Haa..is it worth the money? If you are young, go for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic March 19, 2013 Share March 19, 2013 Find a nice W-129,300SL...timeless classic. Agreed. But i dont think he has the budget for it. Can buy doesnt mean can maintain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll hv the best of both worlds with the astra if you only hv these three choices Mx5 is gu niang (see all earlier comments) Mrs still quite gu niang An old 3er cab would be excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
