Convertible, 4 Seat, Manual
I'm looking for a convertible with 4 seats that can fit a rear facing car seat in the back. I am also looking for a car that I can find with a manual transmission.
The overall goal is to have a fun, enthusiast, driver's car to take out occasionally on nice days with the entire family.
I'm open on the budget, but I'm looking for something that will hold its value. So, I'm focused on 10-30 year old cars with lower mileage for the age.
So far, it seems like I may be limited to V8 Mustangs, V8 Camaros, and M3/M4s. An E46 or E93 sounds appealing, but I will have to do the upfront work to take care of all of the common issues. The Mustang and Camaro are less of my style since they look like rental cars in convertible form, but I can't deny the value and appeal.
Anything else to consider?
