So in two days I have to decide on a car to buy. The final two on my list are the Scion tc and the VW New Beetle Convertible. Really, I'm deciding between a blue coupe and a red convertible. And I can't make up my mind. Thoughts?
I've spent a fair amount of time in both (I didn't own both, but am friends with folks who do/did). I really like the Scion, always have. The New Beetle has its attractions, especially with my growing affection for convertibles, but the Scion has is the better performing car, has a better interior, *and* Seattle is convertible-unfriendly 8 months out of the year.
The latter point I came up with recently when convincing myself to not buy a new car *and* to not buy a convertible. I spent the Memorial Day weekend in Los Angeles driving around in a convertible red Mustang and ever since I've been wanting one.
Except I think he's trying to ignore the whole "cute car" thing, which is why he's hung up on the beetle in the first place, as it's a "girly" car. Also, apparently it isn't a very good drive.
Yes, but with a good stripe a Mini is cute in an entirely different way than the hippie-girly cuteness of the Beetle. The Mini has a fun British, let's make a bad joke about size kind of cute.
Which isn't a good drive? The Mini or the Beetle? (Never having driven either. Mmm, I dream of the day when I could snag a test drive of an original Mini.)

You know my vote already. What happened to the Mini convertible? Did you decide against it after all?
