Well, I bought a 2001 9*3 HOT convertible about six months ago...and I love driving it. It's an Auto (who needs a bloody manual in city traffic?) and, after changing form a 4WD (Isuzu Trooper) the fun factor is most definitely there for me ;-) Whenever the sun comes out (not as often as I would like..bloody Melbourne weather) the top comes down, and it never fails to get admiring glances from drivers of any other car (except maybe the sneers of Boxster owners). Go for it...you only live once! If you get fed up after a year...who cares...at least you will have owned a bloody nice convertible once in your life!
