Melbourne has the best mainland weather for a ragtop! On a hot day (We do get those) leave it at home or run with the roof up and aircon on. When the sun goes down, so does the roof. When winter comes and unless it is raining, grit your teeth, get a jumper, scarf and beanie, drop the roof, crank the heater up and enjoy it. You can always put the roof up it you start getting frostbite. At least unlike the old MG Midget my wife and I used to have, putting the roof up on a modern convertible actually makes a difference to the environment inside the car.

If I could find a good one at the right price I have been tempted by a 370Z ragtop for years, ever since the dealer ran out of courtesy cars when I was getting a car serviced so I got the dealer principles 370 for the day. No roof, plenty of torque, nice handling, what more could you ask for in a toy.
