Buying a new convertible - what's best?

I need to buy a new car, but don’t know where to start. I’ve test driven a lot of cars and think I want a convertible. I want something stylish and quick, but don’t want any mechanical mishaps. Can you offer any advice?

Mazda MX-5 Powershift. Convertibles are cheap now that winter is here. See if Drivethedeal.com can get you a new one. Otherwise: www.honestjohn.co.uk/used-prices/Mazda/MX-5/
