Mitsubishi Colt Cabriolet or others

[countrykid]

After years of driving "sensible" and practical cars, I am toying with the idea of a cabriolet. To be honest the advert for the Mitsubishi Colt CZC at �9999 was what set me thinking. I thought hey were much more expensive, though insurance might be costly I guess!! I am not a car fanatic, and usualy hang on to them - my existing Fiat Punto is in its 14th year! and still going well. But for maybe the next two or three years I fancy a bit of fun. Has anyone got a Colt CZC and if so what's it like. What are the pitfalls of this type of car. It will only ever be needed for two adults - using the front seats, and yes with the roof down when weather permits. Thanks in advance.

pitfall no.1...cabriolets are bloody freezing during the winter,even with the heater full on,the fabric roof dosen't have very much in the way of insulation. so please think carefully before buying one...is it worth it for the handfull of sunny days we get in this country?

Thanks for that gonzo00, fair point, and one I hadn't thought about. This might not be such an issue though in the Mitsubishi Colt, as the roof is like a normal car to some extent, made of metal, but which retracts electronically and folds into the boot space when you want to go topless!. But thanks again for your input.

Cheers
