10 years now with my current daily. It is a 4x4 (real) diesel with ragtop. Going strong but I do the vast mayority of the 10K kms/year on tarmac where the high centre of gravity is not much fun at all.
I do need the offroad properties but have now a second 4x4 ánd the neighbour has volunteered I can borrow his so I coúld go for a cabrio which behaves like a proper tarmac car.

Been looking around and the shortlist is down to 2:
- MX5 NC Coupe (with hardtop)
- Alfa Spider Series 4
Both are relatively easily found rust free over here.

Both weigh about the same and are propelled by roughly the same hp.

Owned a Giulia GTJ 1300 and am aware that the Series 4 is technically the same platform which has both pros and cons about the reverse of the modern tech MX.

Though I do not take him along a lot I do like the rear ´bench´of the Spider for my dog.

Any thoughts?
