is there a perfect car?
my next car must be a convertible due to mid life crisis.here is a shortlist
new mr2 roadster underrated imho.
old slk 200 due to metal roof
audi tt roadster 225 due to 4 wheel drive plus chipping.
honda s2000 due to fast roof, reliability, cheap servicing. not common.
mx-5 due to reliable ,easy to fix but too common.
my ideal car would be the s2000 but with 4 wheel drive and a diesel engine with massive torque. and a metal folding roof.since i cant have this what car would you choose and why.

I looked at an MR2, serious lack of space I would have had to carry my computer case on the passenger seat, the boot is that small.
SLK is OK on German autobahns, a bit slow but on corners it's not impressive. Build quality is dodgy too, plastics a bit cheap.
I'd go for the Audi, plenty of tuning available, still looks good and VAG cars are usually built very well. I find Hondas a bit 'tinny'

Probably the closest you could get to a 'perfect' car would be a Cayenne Turbo. Fast, fun, big, go on road and off road. Handy, despite size, on a track day (I've experienced one of thes on track and I was impressed). Looks forkin ugly though.

driven them all and i'd have the TT for balance of speed, looks, build spec, etc
a convertible is all about posing....ppl will think the Hondas an MX5.
and if its not about posing dont get a soft top.

I like our little 8 pot convertable. It's never going to be common and partnered with the Scoob, I think we've got all the bases covered.

Think the Audi RS6 Avant - fulfills most citeria for me:
Estate
450bhp
Leather TV Satnav
Not too much badge snobbery or chavness
4x4
Almost a street sleeper - i.e. I could park it in the street.

boxter appeals but rip off servicing and parts dont.
Otherwise I'd go for the S2000 - looks and sounds great, feels special inside, "interesting" handling, still a rare sight and it'll never go wrong.
