Been asked the question today which sporty convertible would you choose

none of the above - s2000?

I assume you were at the hairdressers.

out of the above, z4, but im with howard and would go s2000 anyday

None, convertible tin tops just don't do it for me at all.

A Z4 hard top with M Power would do me nicely though.

Skoda Estelle Cabriolet

shoot me down in flames, but for a modern sportscar I think the MX5 is an excellent choice. Has rather more of the essence than some of the others. Of course, a real sportscar would be a TR6, proper mans car

I voted Z4 but like nick205 I'd rather have the coupé (I think it looks like a batmobile). It's also by far the most masculine of the three (not that I care about that kind of thing but alot of people do.)

I wouldn't mind a Boxter but the Cayman looks nicer, as does the 944 and you could have a lovely one for the cost of a boxter.

If you can find one you could probably afford a Cadillac XLR for simillar money, and you unlikely to see another one. Though they were only available in LHD.

boxster all day, sod the haters

None, convertibles somehow just seem a bit....lame. I can't see why but they just make me frown a bit.

That's the whole point. A convertible sports car is all about being smallish, nippy and the driver being a bit of a cad Oh, and to pull the ladies (or in some cases blokes if you are a girl, or whatever)
Not a lot to do with how fast it will go round a track, do 0-60 or anything else.

Don't know where my previous post went, its disappeared, strange , anyway I said Crossfire roadster SRT-6.
