I’m looking for an inexpensive option for a fun convertible for occasional driving. Not looking for a fixer upper but I want a reasonably reliable fun car. I’d prefer a smaller size convertible like a BMW or a Lark or even a K-car. Any ideas would be great!

Thanks for the great input. I’m definitely going to look into Mazda miatas. I know there are tons of sebrings out there for cheap but looking for something just a bit more stylish. The k-car thought was only because I used to have one and I had seen the convertible version of it once on the road. …

K-Car convertible is usually called a LeBaron. I vote Mustang, with Miata a very close second.

Chrysler LeBaron From Early - Mid 90s. It’s From The Plymouth Acclaim, Dodge Spirit, Chrysler LeBaron Family. I had a 91 Spirit, 2.5L four. We had it for many, many years. It was a great car, never had any serious problems with it, extremely reliable and economical. CSA

Budget Range ? You’ll get more meaningful suggestions if you give an idea on what you’re looking to spend. CSA

I need to add one more to the mix as a solar cruiser, not a sports machine. GM J-car convertibles. Chevy Cavalier or Pontiac Sunfire. We owned one for 2 years on a lease. Good electric top, reliable and tough.

A fun to drive Honda does not exist. Anyone who thinks so hasn’t driven anything else

91 - 93 Dodge Shadow/Plymouth Sundance. These Are A Bit Smaller Than The Chrysler LeBaron. CSA

any convertible that’s older than 13 years old should be a keeper. The problem is any convertible that’s oler than 13 years old that is for sale has a problem that the current owner wants you to deal with. :-))

What about the Civic Del Sol? Fun to drive, Honda reliability, and with the hard top it’s good in colder climates.
