What Should I Buy: Convertibles

Part II in our series of helping you pick the car that's best for you. It's the question everyone has -- what car should I buy? Well, in order to solve the problem of what car people should buy, we've devised a five-part series called: What Should I Buy? Today we tackle convertibles. Using hard science we've analyzed past purchases by the majority of buyers and come up with these answers based on the potential buyer's personalities:

I'm dull
Toyota Solara

It's for my wife
VW Beetle

I'm a doctor
Chevrolet Corvette

...no, a plastic surgeon
Mercedes Benz SL 600

...in a trauma center
Volvo C70

It's for my mistress
Lexus SC430

..She's better looking than that
Jaguar XK8

I like to drive:
Honda S2000

Okay, once again we'll get serious. It's very hard to pick a convertible without knowing all your exact needs but the ones we think are the pick of the litter are:

Under $25k	Under $35k	Under $45k	Under $55k
Mazda Miata	Honda S2000	BMW Z4	Porsche Boxster

Got different needs? Okay we can handle that:

Family oriented	Luxury	Performance	Oh sweet mama!
Volvo C70	BMW 6-series	Dodge Viper	Mercedes SL 600

I agree with Dave, the Corvette is a much better car than the Porsche Boxster. One would have to upgrade to the Carrera or the Turbo to compete with the Corvette.

Boxster over a Vette in the under 55K category? LOL! Somebody there needs an extended stay in rehab. I would take one Corvette over 3 or 4 of those stupid looking, anatomically correct Boxster (Yes, the dumb looking exhaust pipe looks like a big butthole).
