I have had convertibles for about a decade of my life and really enjoyed them. They were sold off to fund the 993 purchase. I still have the 993 and it is nice with the windows down but I really need to add a ragtop again. Instead of getting another classic car, which my old convertibles were, I am thinking about a modern car that can do daily drive duty easily.

Criteria:
- 2000 or later model
- Needs to have all modern safety equipment, especially crash safety = side air bags, seat belt tensioners etc.
- Needs to seat 4 adults. The rear seats can be emergency type, but bigger than the 993.
- Does not need to be sporty, but extra points for RWD and manual transmissions.
- Reasonable to DIY maintain
- 20 mpg or better in town would be nice
- Price range up to $20k - higher mileage ok

What do you recommend????
