Need new car ideas

[Macs]

I am changing jobs and will lose my company vehicle. I havnt personally owned my own car since 98'. My wife gets a new one every few years but i havnt really paid attention to whats out there. I am looking for something slightly used. Maybe a year old. I want it to be a convertable, get good gas mileage and would really like a rear seat. Today i looked at the 350z ( hated it ), porsche boxter ( hated it ), Saturn Sky ( loved it except for no rear seat) and the Pontiac solitise? ( same as saturn). I am really having trouble finding exactly what i want. I know there is several cars that fits my wants but i am really unsure what is out there. i need suggestions.

mustang convertables have back seats, so do saab's, so do pt hearses, i mean cruisers. you should get a pt cruiser convertable, then you would be really cool.

or you could get a chrystler labaron convertable, jon voights old car like george castanza did.

Chrysler Sebrings have a backseat, and can have a convertable top. My mom has the normal 4d regular top Sebring and she loves it. Gets about 24mpg.

Just my opinion but why would you want a convertable with a back seat? Most of the seats are completly useless and you cant sit in there. There is no leg room, even little kids can have issues. I havent been in many if any 2 door cars that have any kind of leg room. Just my thoughts on that. If i were you i would either get a hard top convertable or the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 convertable. Got good looks and a good car...crappy back seat though

i like to have a back seat to put the car seat in if need be. I went and looked at the mercedes slk320. i fell in love with that cart but the price was a little steep

[400exguy]

Ok i see. Yeah slk320 is nice. If the tag is steep just lease it that is unless you will drive too many miles. Most people end up getting rid of their car every few years anyways so that would work. Unless you are the type to get a car and drive it till the wheels fall off, go with the lease.

I think what you want is a Jeep with a soft top.

I think what you want is a Jeep with a soft top.

hell yea.



yet your self a jeep wrangler. plus it will go places a car cant. oooo they are cheaper than a sports car too. as for fuel mileage ....my brother has a 95 jeep yj (wrangler) with a 2.5 liter engine and it got around 20 miles to the gallon or so. dont under estimate the little 2.5 4 cyl. engine either. we use to pull truck out of the mud with it. it had 33 inch tires on it too. anyway yea get your self a jeep.

i have always wanted a jeep. When i first started looking the fuel economy kinda scared me. I am trying to stay in the upper 20's on my gas mileage. But that has always been a consideration

upper 20s with a convertible. hmm....wait, doesn't the new bmw mini come in a convertible now?

excellent parking capabilities, excellent handling, well built, and if you don't get the supercharged edition, great gas mileage. also...pretty damned roomy inside.

[nouseforaname90]

The new Eclipses are pretty sharp.. and both the 4 and 6cyl models get decent mileage.
I'm just not sure if they come in convertible.. I have yet to see one.

[The Goat]

if you're thinking eclipse...get an oldschool one with the awd...for 5 grand. drop 8k or so in it to make it into a reliable beast...and then have a little fun.

[200xkwit]

get a civic good gas lots of mods avalible ... back seats i have an 91 hatchback and a 2000 civic si with a jdm b18c motor in it and it screws

[Aka_am]

I have a sebring! it's nice, but it isn't convertable..but it gets like 30mpg v6..I want a mustang though, oh well
