Tonight I was watching a show called "life in the fast lane" on the FineLiving channel and they were featuring convertibles. They showed a segment where a young couple drove 3 convertibles: a New Beetle, a PT Cruiser, and a Mazdaspeed. They were trying to decide which one was right for them. They drove the Mazdaspeed last of the 3. They both said "hands down" the Mazdaspeed was the best car of them all. I quote "it was a life changing experience". :-)
