I'm looking to get a different vehicle. I want to buy something used (probably between a 2000 and a 2005) One car I am really considering is a Mitsubishi Eclipse, but I'd l ike to keep my options open and would like other suggestions!

I want something kind of sporty, and I'd like either a convertible or at least a sunroof, I'd also like something that comes with the option of a manual transmission.

Any suggestions?!

. Mini Cooper

. Mazda Miata

. Toyota Solara

Scion TC. Lots of bang for the buck.

You can check out a range of cars on this search engine called Trovit. If you're looking for a Mitsubishi try... Mitsubishi - Trovit Cars
There's even a price filter if you want to find something in your budget. I found the site to be pretty useful.
