I like being warm and dry in foul weather.

Fixed it for you.

I wouldn't consider buying a Saab myself - I did test drive one years ago and it had zero personality.

I've had an MR2 Roadster and that is a nice little car which can be got cheap.

The MX-5 is a timeless (well 'til they brought out the new one) classic.

The MR2 & MX-5 are two seaters though.

But it is great driving with the roof off (with my current car I have to take it off and put it in the boot, not just fold it down).

I agree that a motorbike is the best "open top" motoring, but not good enough for a 4 person holiday, but then again, neither is an MX5 or similar.
When I win a lottery I will be straight to the showroom for a Bentley Continental GTC!

I wouldn't say a motorbike is the best open top motoring, as you are wearing a crash helmet.

Can't see any reason not to own a Saab convertible.

They were always miles better than the GM underpinnings would suggest.

All the bits you sit on and touch will be Saab.

I have owned a couple of cheap Saabs and they were quiet and comfortable.

There is also a good forum and parts backup is pretty good.

Some service consumables will be Vauxhall, especially if you go for a diesel. (Which I wouldn't in a Saab convertible to be fair)
