The biggest thing to know if you buy one, do not pay attention to their oil change schedule. You need to change it more often and you need to add oil - jnine Jul 25, 08:03 1
- Awesome. If you could/would note random thoughts you have and let me know. Here or email. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:24
i wonder if this is smaller than a miata. maybe test drive one of those too. - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:03 2
- *zoom zoom* -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:12 1
  - exactly. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:14
Get a Fiat instead. -- nm - Shaun Jul 25, 07:54 5
- Fiat is always dead last in brand ratings. Just looked to confirm, and was 34 out of 34 in CR last year. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:58 4
  - My friend has a Fiat and it feels noticeably smaller inside. -- nm - jnine Jul 25, 08:00 1
    - Yeah, I really like small cars but they seem a bit much just from looking in their windows. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:07
  - Fair enough. I wouldn't expect quirky little sports cars to rank that highly anyway. -- nm - Shaun Jul 25, 08:00 1
    - Yeah, but last is last. I keep hearing about how stiff they are, how bad the seats are, limited visibility, low mpg and vibrations. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:10
I'm driving my second Mini Cooper S, but hardtop, not convertibles. -- nm - jnine Jul 25, 07:44 6
- I would love the hardtop. I should start looking for one. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 07:50 1
  - I am trying to decide if the convertible is worth it. Amy mentioned that most of my driving *is* highway. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:52
- Drove a hardtop first. Had dinner and got to thinking about it so went and drove a convertible. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:46 3
  - I do a lot of freeway and highway driving and the convertible was too noisy. If I did mostly street driving, it would be fine. I don't really have - jnine Jul 25, 07:53 2
    - Hmmm (to your OM). I drove the hardtop solo but the convertible was with the salesman, so there was conversation going. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:56 1
      - The prior design of the convertible had the roll bars where they blocked your view backing up. With the back up camera, this probably wouldn't be a - jnine Jul 25, 07:59
I see a lot of girls driving them -- nm - decline Jul 25, 07:41 1
- They are the VW Cabrio for a whole new generation of sassy singles -- nm - rollo Jul 25, 07:43
Lots of women do -- nm - rollo Jul 25, 07:40 6
- The same was said for my Del Sol. Drove two last night. Like driving a go-cart. Total blast. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:44 5
  - You should, of course and as always, do you. If any dude could pull off driving a chick-centric car, I suspect you are that dude. -- nm - rollo Jul 25, 07:48 4
    - More that I don't really think like that. The Del Sol was a blast to drive but this thing is like jet powered go cart. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:50 3
      - It is great for handling and driving. I get a lot of rental cars and I feel like I'm not really driving in them, just floating. The only car I've had - jnine Jul 25, 07:56 2
        
        Yeah, I had gotten used to the "disconnect" from the road but I think it is time to get reacquainted. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:21 1
        
        That would do it! -- nm - jnine Jul 25, 10:06
