WHICH CAR?

For a practical, used convertible, your search should start and end with a nice Mazda Miata/MX-5. The Miata is a modern-day classic and should give you the privilege of owning a piece of automotive history.  As a car, it is as reliable as Japanese cars get, and thanks to its front-engine rear-wheel drive layout, provides brilliant handling. Its four cylinder petrol engines are snappy enough to put a big smile on your face. If you follow classifieds in auto magazines and even in mainstream newspapers, you will encounter Miatas aplenty.  Prices range from Rs 3 lakh for an early nineties classic to Rs 7 lakh for a pristine, relatively fresh example. As regards the San Storm, it can take a range of new-age front-wheel drive engines with suitable modifications
