The Eos looks nice, but and drop top shouts mid life crisis.

I just put it out there to counter all the 'normal' type car recommendations.

Drop top may shout mid life crisis but they are also good fun in the sunshine

One of the few drop tops that, IMHO, look as nice with top up as it does with the top down.

.....and the way the roof works is truly a thing of beauty, but hey, wouldn't want people to think you were having a mid life crisis, would we?

My God, what a prize tit !!! You really do have to wonder at the intelligence of some people ! A strong contender for an almost-Darwin award.

lol, there is no cure for stupid.

bit left field, and generally cheaper because of historic reliability issues of the brand, but which have made massive strides in improving anyways - how about a Fiat Bravo, they have a 150bhp 1.4 petrol which has 0-60 in 8.5 and a 2l diesel which does it in 8.2, they also have the older 1.9 diesel which is a 9 second 0-60, is a little less refined than the 2l but tends not to have the DPF and associated issues (some do so beware)

I think we have a winner.

Thats a pretty special car there, never even heard of that performance from a Mazda.

Great shout.
