I would not let my better half drive in that tin can.
Sure its cute but it's no Match against a 100 pound woman talking on the cell phone in her 5 ton SUV.
If the misses is looking for a daily driven drop top get a car that will give an SUV a better fight like a 2nd hand Audi S4 convertibel, CLK convertible,M5 Convertible,3 series Convert, 645 convertible, or that new electric hard convertible top (ala SLK) Volvo. Steer clear of Miatas, Minis, Lotus Elise etc for daily drivers. NOT SAFE
with all the morons driving Sherman tanks on the freeways.
I drove a Miata for years. Great car but in an accident that car is as good as driving in chicken of the sea tuna can. My friend has his Miata demolished by a Sequioa, had his apartmnet burned down and crashed in a bike race loosing his front teeth all in the same weekend.
