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.

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.

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

I could live with something like a big Healey, TR6 or a Cobra or maybe an MG Midget, but the majority of modern convertibles are pretty horrible
things IMO. The S2000 might be an exception.

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.
