I think I am past wanting an old muscle car. For some reason not interested in a vette.
I figured the exact opposite of a reliable boring Toyota would a Granturismo. Mentioned the GT to my wife and she was like "really?". A few days later there was a black convertible ahead of us and she was like "That car?".
The lines on the GT convertible are pretty nice!
I think a 2014-2016 gets past several of the early model engine problems (variators, leaking coolant hose, etc). Seems more models in this range with less sticky button problems. Pretty sure you get a hands free blue tooth phone and back up camera after 2013. So all of life's needs are met LOL. I do expect whatever I get to need $$$$ work. Goal is to keep it 2 years and dump it if not really liking it.
Curious if anyone has one and has any thoughts?
Still not sure I understand the whole automatic with paddle shifters yet seems to have a manual gearbox thing - unclear on years and what this even means???
Last question - disregarding the specific car mfg/model what does everyone think about convertibles vs hardtop / coupes. Are convertibles better for resale or just stay away.
Thanks for any help!!!
