Hardtop Convertable - What do you recommend?

[gonzo]

The old GonZo beater has been paid for a long time now but this weekend the check engine light came on.

So Im considering a new ride.

I like something with style and looks...and some get up and go.

So far the leading contenders are the Saturn Sky or the Tbird Hardtop.

What do you recommend? Of course within reason because Im a broke assed bastard and Im not a millionaire so I cant afford a Mustang.

Sky looks great, but small...and not a hard top.

Hard top limits your pickings a lot.

T-bird means used, they're done.

New in the low end is Volkswagon EOS and Pontiac G6...both under $30K and hard top convertibles.

Double the price and there are some interesting options.

The Sky is cool with the 266hp turbocharged engine and I know a guy that has one that he lowered and added different wheels to and it looks better than a Viper. Not as quick, but then who needs to go that fast in a city anyway?

No offense though, Gonzo, but I sat in one this weekend and I don't think you'd fit.

Not sure why your second choice is a Tbird unless you're looking for used cars too.

p.s. Just because the check engine light came on doesn't mean it's terminal or expensive, it could be something simple.

The TBird gets style points.
The room in the Sky was a concern but again. Right now I drive a Honda Del Sol. Youd be surprised what I can fit into. The light is just an excuse Im sure even buying the new ride Ill have this car tuned up and around a long time.
