maddmaxx ★ Posted October 26, 2018 Share #20 Posted October 26, 2018 Personally I'd recommend the Mercedes C-300 4matic sedan with some of the performance packages and a nice sun roof. Convertibles in New England are generally cold and noisy. Womaxx loved the convertible we rented in Florida but by the end of the week she admitted that the potential down sides were not worth the occasional top down jaunt. It's one hell of a car with a better reputation than a beemer or audi. https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/model/c-class/sedan/c300w4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to spend more there are higher models like the E and S class and there are 2 door coupes as well. The sun roof seems more than adequate for those 2 or 3 summer days you want the wind in your hair. It will also depend on where the local dealerships are when you finally need service.

There were a number of years where Audi's began to smoke prematurely because the design of the cylinder head/gasket interface leaked oil onto the adjacent exhaust manifold. My oldest son was interested in buying a used Audi a few years ago and we couldn't find a non smoker anywhere. Eventually he gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know that. When I researched my new car two years ago, the reviews were positive for Audi (and Mercedes) for both performance and reliability. The consensus seemed to be that BMW had slipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW is infamous in the mechanics trade (or were when I was doing that shit) for telling customers that their car will be fixed as soon as they can get the parts from Bavaria. Their repair parts are also waaaay overpriced. Not that that matters to someone like you, a forum 1%er. But for some of us living on a fixed income and just scraping by from retirement check to retirement check, it's a factor in car shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted October 28, 2018 Share #47 Posted October 28, 2018 2 minutes ago, Square Wheels said: No hardtop convertible. 2018 Mazda Miata RF (new for 2018) Quote $31,910 | U.S. News Score: 9.1/10 The 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF is far less expensive than other retractable hardtops on this list, but it’s still a lot of fun. It also tops our rankings for both sports cars and convertibles. The RF stands for “retractable fastback,” which is truth in advertising. The fixed rear window is similar to the design of the Porsche 911 Targa, which makes it a nontraditional hardtop in our opinion. The top opens or closes in just 13 seconds at the push of a button. You won’t find a second row of seats in the Miata, nor will you find much trunk space, regardless of whether the top is open or closed. The hardtop is available on the two upper trims, and it adds about $3,000 to the price of the Miata. Convertible competitors at this price range don’t have a hardtop, even as an option, so the Miata RF is a good pick for budget-conscious convertible shoppers who want a car that can be driven for more than three perfectly sunny months.
