For my application, it would be a car forward deployed so when I fly in, it’s there and I don’t need to rent a car.

Which is why the reliability aspect is so key to me here.

I would never do extended highway driving in a convertible. It’s a lot of white noise that is grating quickly. Especially when you have these modern wide and low profile tires which send noise into your skull for hours.

I think the highway is also the place where any MX5 Miata doesn’t do well because there’s no top end on the car and that tiny little engine can be frustrating.
