Listmates,

Sorry to post this here, but i didn't know where else to put it. My wife wants a new convertible, with a stick. Other than a Cab Carerra/Boxster, what are the sporty options? Lotus is too small, Corvette is too old manish for her, and automatic tranny is out of the question.

Thanks, and if this belongs in another forum, please let me know.

 

S2000? The Honda roadster has a motor that revs sky high and the best manual shift of any production car.

 

Price range?

 

S4 Cab/RS4 Cab???

Used S4 Cabs can be picked up pretty cheap

 

How about a 611hp Monster SVT Cobra convertible in silver? 10th anniversary edition has red leather seat inserts.

 

Assuming price and usability are issues... previously mentioned cars + M-roadster, 370Z, M3

 

Yep M3 Vert. 6speed.

 

Bmw e93

 

Assuming you have kids and your wife isn't looking to tear around, Infiniti G convertible or the Lexus IS-C. Four seats, sporty, fun. Relatively cheap too.

 

+1 on the e93 M3..

 

Go Jag! Recent reports say that have top reliabilty now. The XK has wifey written all over it!

I don't think it is available with a stick though. If a stick is essential, a classic TR6 would be on my short list.

 

M3 'vert.
Gen III Viper SRT-10
2010 Corvette Grand Sport
Lexus IS 'vert

 

m3

911

used rs4 cab is a steal

if u dont mind smg, m6

 

BMW 135i, 335i

 

My mom loves her 08 M3...and its a 6-speed. She had a 335i cab 6-speed for a few months prior to the M and liked that too, but the M is a completely different car.

Also look at the new S5 cab...great looking car IMO.
