Of course, being able to take the top off is a huge bonus.

Edit: Just saw your last requirement- "Different". Guess we can scratch the Miata idea.....
What year is your Miata? Try as I may (full tune up etc.) I can only manage 25-27 mpg in my 1996.

But then I am kinda liberal with the use of the gas pedal.

Sorry for the hijack, to the OP, what about a BMW 3 series convertible?
