I though that too re the SLK, but already posted so left it!!

A 206 over an MX5 - are you mad
No chance, the MX5 beats the 206 at everything hands down LOL!! Except having a hard roof

LOL - each to their own - I can't stand the looks of the pug!!! (the 2l is less powerful than the 1.8 mazda, but these cars that don't really matter unless your a bloke )

Still, would rather have my missus in a gold plated MX anyday

Be boring if everyone thought the same

Latest version of the Honda S200 has glass rear window. Plastic in early version.

Will struggle to find one for 13k though.

A friend of mine is looking for a 2nd car and wants a Convertable with a glass window rather than Plastic, being uneducated that much in convertables I thought Id ask all you guys which convertables have the solid glass rear window.

has upto £12.5 - £13k
I only thought of is the new Pug 206.
Tahnks for the help all

TomM

Apart from the Pug 206cc I dont think there are any more on the market at the moment, not any worth having.

You could cheat and get a BMW 3 series cab with a hard top??

Otherwise convertibles for this money will be tired!!

TomM

I was going to say SLK but she wont get one for 13k.

MX-5 is probably best bet, although if I had to have one it would be the Pug.

Krade

I did think of the MX5 but wasn't sure it was a glass rear window.

ScoobyJawa

Yep it does m8 - rear heated windown and very easy roof to do up and put down - done in secs. The Mk1 wasn't glass but the Mk2 from 1998 on did have it!
Like I said, also pretty sure the Z3 does too....

TomM

Lets be honest, your not buying one of these for performance are you?, I wouldnt be. Its about image, and the MX-5, well, I hate them, I dont doubt thier ability as a small rwd roadster but I wouldnt own one if you paid me, and I really meant that, I hate them almost as much as I hate MR2s of ANY varient - urrghh.

The little Pug looks a million times better and has a hard roof to boot, plus its a 2ltr isnt it?, so it wont hang around. Ok, may not be as good as the MX-5 for driving thrills but I still choose the Pug, any day of the week!

WOuldnt have either in real life so IAm looking at this as in the bird wants a new car, what do I think?, I would hate to see my other half in an MX-5, might as well get her some nice gold to go with it!

You can get a brand new UK supplied MX5 1.8 for £13999 - www.showroom4cars.co.uk.

An Elise has a glass rear window, and he can have mine for £13k if he's interested.

Stephen Read

An Escort Cab? ;-) I think someone on here had one of those for sale a while ago.... ;-)

Also if your mate isn'r rulling out 4-seater then some Saab convertibles have glass.

Krade

If It was me buying the car then I would be looking for a Chiemera or Griffith, sod the glass window but its not me

Persoanlly I think the 206 looks like something Barbie would drive, it just doesn't do it for me as the car looks crap with the roof on and the rear quater is too high compared to the front of the car. It looks like its **** is in the air. I would go for the MX5 any day of the two better handleing and better looking.

For me a convertable should be designed as a roadster not a hatchback thats been taken to the chop shop and had its roof removed.

MX5 has a glass window, BMW doesn't, 206 is **** to drive!

Daryl

MR2 Roadster has a glass rear window.

And before anyone says it is a girls car, most of the Scooby drivers on here wouldn't get 100 yards down the road before losing control (not judging by recent posts anyway)

grahambeal

Vauxhall Astra cab has a glass window in the rear

scooby_xt_turbo

Why, doesn't he buy a car with a plastic rear window and go to a proper company that will make a conversion to a glass rear window?

hi krade

why specifically is your friend looking for a cab with a glass back window?

i run a year 2000 pug 306 cab with the plastic rear window and have had no probs at all, i've even got a rear de-mister for when the windows get steamy as they do in most cars
any probs further than that, switch the air-con on, that clears all the 'windows'

tell your friend to open up the options on which cabrio to get, it certainly is worth looking at all normal cabrio's, unless of course theres a specific reason for wanting a glass screen

max

oh and if your friends interested i may put my back on the market for sale!

Saabs have rear glass... Try a CRX delsol with an electric transtop.. and a Honda vtech engine...
