cabrio?? unless thats a model i dont know of idk

well put it this way,
the turbo2 is turbo charged from which i am reading that people have more problems with
they have more power than a N/A though (dont flame me, this is stock vs stock)

N/A are lighter, you could use the car for a t2 swap

S5 are stronger than the S4

Convertibles are called Cabriolet's in Europe, or Cabrios for short.

As for what is the "best"... you need to define best for you... are you going to take this thing to a demolition derby or is this a daily driver? It is going to be a drift car, street car, track car, show car, off season beater?

convertibles are known as "cabrios" or "cabriolets" in other parts of the world

edit: i guess you beat me to it flash.

from my personal experiance. and im not sure about germany (being that im not sure if they have a Na model there like japan which has no na 13b's from the factory)
i have owned a s4 t2 and s5 na. and for a everydsy driver i loved the s5 . Once running i had no real problems with it . Very fun car to drive. i would have to say pretty relaible if you know what to watch for. my t2 on the other hand bought for double what i paid for my na , been apart for about 6-7 monthd now.. ive driven it about 4 times. heheh(working on it constantly but i love working on these cars and i consider it my project).

--> jump to cliff notes
I find for me that if you want a good daily driver that is realiable in the rotary world S5 Na
if you want a project and want power 87 t2

Just my experiance

i love turbos, but it should be able to be driven every day, i drive 1000miles a month :/

Wow, 1000 miles a month? How much are gas prices over there? You'll be putting a lot of cash into the tank if you drive it that much. They're great cars, but if you're going to be driving one that much, you might run into some reliability issues.

well in Germany the convertible will also be with a factory turbo2 engine and driveline so that is a easy choice. I have a turbo vert and it is the best second gen hands down.

that is average milage for any car actually its on the low side of avg. milage its usually 12,000 to 15,000 a year so if you are scared to drive your car 1,000 miles a month then try a bus ticket

Yeah, I drove my 7 like that for a couple years and it went fine with it. Aslong as u dont lead foot it everyday wherever u go gas wont be so bad. On the weekends though u gotta take it to a track and let it all out.

where did you get that special edition one 183hp
thats 1hp more than the others i have seen or bought
you lucky dog

I could easily see doing 1000+ miles a month in just about any other car. 1000 miles a month in a 15+ year old car that gets around 15 miles a gallon would surely be a strain on both the car and the wallet.

I daily drive my RX-7, but I only put about 350-400 miles a month on mine (I live 5 miles from work).
