just not good ones hahaha.

honestly, I used to buy into the whole wow convertibles are so cool phase.. and then ... I really don't care because I don't like my hair being blown every which way. Nowadays, fuel economy is what matters to me with the price of gases. What's the point of buying an expensive car that guzzles gas and depreciates in value like every other car when you can have a cheap lil' one with awesome toyota reliability and great gas mileage= saves money!

Sherryberry, you sound like a pretty well grounded young lady with some smarts... and for many of us, that's a very attractive quality. You just may be a positive influence on this forum. Keep the comments coming.

It's not so bad Share Bear, but it's true when I drive the Miata I often wear a hat because of sun, which messes up your hair anyway!

But I have to say, convertibles are really only fun in spring and fall--this year I have not had top down since June, even put hard top back on so A/C works better. I love that the new ones have retractable hard top!

hehe share bear.. my friends call me that too.. plus my last name in chinese means bear. you're so smart! hehe. Living in Chicagoland area, it seems pointless to get a convertible... winters are too cold, summer- it's always raining. Spring- tornados and more storms and still cold!.. fall... are somewhat better but that's basically about one or two possible seasons that you could have the top down most of the time hehe.

You wouldn't be talking about a Yaris, now would you?

Here in Toronto, going topless hasn't caught on, even though it's now legal.

However, If I was in hawaii, topless wouldn't be such a bad thing.

If I wanted to look up at the sky while driving, I'd rather do it in a Jeep.

I'm in love with my combo. Got my daily driver Blazing Blue LB, and for the fun/sunny days I feel like it, got my low miles 91 Mustang Lx 5.0 Convertable...If I want fast fun good times, I take the Stang, If I want handling fun no power great mileage unique, I take the squishy Yaris...either way I'm a sexy biatch

Guys that drive convertibles in Arizona are always sweaty and gross, except for that one week in January when we have nice weather.

Hey Tek, if it keeps you out of the shrinks office and puts a smile on your face, go for it. My other vehicle that I've had for years is ragged, snarling, lurching, chopped up rockcrawler TJ, and say what you want about its a)mpg b)comfort c)reliability d)resale value e)street manners, every time I hop out of it I look back at it smile... God, I love that rig. Every car should do that for you, if it ain't your Yari anymore, whatever.
Best of luck :)

I've got a lot of toys in the garage to cure my lust, but I love my Yaris (easy to look at, dependable, and does everything I need). Don't think your Yari will mind you having a little on the side....find something like a T Bucket/Spyder/etc. for $15k or less to satisfy your needs!!!! Unless you're a one car kinda guy.

hoperrs · 08-18-2007, 10:13 PM

I've had 3 Saturns. All 3 were almost perfect, reliability wise. Very good servicing from the dealer. Only complaint I had with them was the poor Firestone tires they were equipped with. I'd probably still have one if they had a small wagon in their lineup.
