本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛the lower end i will not choose the Jap cars. the convertible is spirit of speeding, powerful, driving fun, and spirit of america. if u go for a convertible, the comfortable(indeed most of the convertibles are not as comfortable as sedan) and reliability(not the safty) are not the primary things. of course, it must look cool. i will choose Mustang. the price is afforded aroung US$27K for 2000 model. it runs smooth, quicker steering, looks great. goes with 3.8l V6 or 4.6l V8. and it's reliability is above the middle, ranked by 2001 consumer reports. how can u image the mr-2 with only 1.8l engine? same for the miata, 155 hores for LS model(the most powerful one). and for me, the two jap cars look really not admirably as mustang--that's important.

camaro is the one i like too. but the rliability is ranked as bad by the above report. more expensive than mustang. even more horse power, xixi...

no idea for the high end. they are not only a spirit, but also standing for wealth. so not stand for me :)

i tried once the bmw z3, it's ok. but at that time i was driving too carfully because i didn't want to crash it, so, no fun...

u could mention the honda s2000 as between the lower and higher end. 2.0l is a little bit small but the honda's engine is perfect outstanding. and the 9000 rpm is the fastest among the all convertibles as a big supplement. it looks so great that can compare with viper. the price is also in the middle.

hope the above is useful to u.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

  • 枫下家园 / 爱车一族 / have a plan to buy a convertible recently. I have considered three models each for both lower end and higher end convertibles: -numnum(numnum); 2001-8-4 {322} (#156052@0)
    lower end:1) toyota MR-2 spyder 2) Mazda miata 3)chevy camaro.
    higer end 1) Prosche Boxter 2) BMW Z3 4) Chevy Corvette

    I don't have experience on any of the above models. I want to glean as much imformation as possible before making the decision. Comments on reliability, handling, and price are greatly appreciated.
    • my select: lower end _____MR-2 , higher end ___Corvette -mies(mies); 2001-8-4 {147} (#156296@0)
      mr-2 is really cool and nice car, center engine, RWD
      z3 and boxter are lower level than Corvette, Corvette is NO. 2 in usa, only lower than VIPER
    • Low end: Mazda Miata High end: BMW Z3 -beavis(brian); 2001-8-5 (#156309@0)

      • thanks a lot, flying2u and also beavis , miew. -numnum(numnum); 2001-8-6 {384} (#157285@0)
        I have put mustang into consideration, its list price is not bad, only a little bit more expensive than spyder and miata, somebody in a car forum also suggested I should look at Misubishi Eclipse, it seems good too. I guess I'm gonna focus on the lower end convertibles because I might need to leave North America quite soon , and the high end convertibles lose more in depreciation.
    • 我以前开过一二手corvette, 开起来倒是很爽,但不知怎么老有这样那样的毛病,后来只好再卖掉. 车太豪华了, 在机械部分附加的东西也多,所以reliability就不行.对于跑车来讲,不要太苛求reliability -guest:过来人; 2001-8-7 (#158738@0)
      • thanks for the info. Somebody suggested me look at Honda S2000. -numnum(numnum); 2001-8-7 {341} (#158770@0)
        Do you have any comment on that model? I looked at the engine and standard options, it's almost as good as a corvette, yet the MSRP is at least 10K US lower than corvette, just about the same as my truck! BTW, a Honda dealer close by is doing S2000 promotion, they offer 4K US cash back for a cash purchase. I am really eying at S2000 now.
