 I've always wanted a convertible and after a lot of research chose the Eclipse Spyder.  Wish I'd done it sooner.  As long as nothing is falling from the sky my top is down!   Heated seats and wind deflector makes it comfy and fun.  Has a good sized trunk for a convertible.  Back seat for kids only, but my son loves it back there.  Handles well and accelerates great.  Tried the 4 cylinder first, but went with the 6 despite the octane needed.  Definitely more get up and go.  The car is definitely an eye-catcher and I just love driving it.  I put smaller concave mirrors on both side mirrors and that took care of blind spots.  Like glass back window rather than plastic, it could be larger.
