Drove an MX5/Miata in the US on a 6 State Road Trip in the late 90's, fabulous fun, though had to put new treads on it after the first day, way too hairy with low rubber., Had an AC 124Coupe from Fiat, loved it, wishing always that it had a removable roof, but still, Enzo seemed to love that model of the 124 as his "drive to work"... Currently in the family we have "Juliette", and gorgeous 2014 VW Eos Cabriolet, a brilliant car (We also had an MY12 and took it on a road trip across to Adelaide from Melbourne). Juliette like all Eos's has the unique 5 part Webasto collapsible hardtop that also incorporates a tilt and full slide-back Sunroof/moon roof and Cabriolet total fold away into the rear boot. Fantastic tourer and hot day car, sadly not made anymore. This is a 155Kw Tsi in Salsa Red and Chamois leather interior, 6spd DSG and adaptive sports suspension. Gorgeous car to drive (when my wife let's me :-), it is her driver- mine is an Amarok550V6! big difference...lol). Apparently the Eos proved too costly to build and ship around the World so after a 10 year production run the last lot went into the US in 2016 I believe. Its a gutsy car and Juliette with Revo Stage1 tune is even more a fun drive.
