cool... www.miniusa.com

Well, if you will consider a convertible, try the
Mazda Miata...

I've been driving one for 2 years. I bought mine
after a weekend long test drive...

Great gas mileage, lots of power and lots of
fun...At a decent price...Mine is a '99 (really
built in January,'98). Bought it in 2000 with 13K
miles for $18K...
