Which 4 seat fun car to suit my length?

[nunpuncher]

How about going modern classic? A 205 CTi, mk1 golf cab or e30 cab should fit. All are good for engine conversions if that's your bag and you'll possibility make money on any of them.

Depending on mechanical sympathy, I'd suggest a triumph vitesse or 13/60 convertible. Fills all boxes.

And maybe a trailer for the wife ;-)

He never mentioned her in the MX5 days......

"excuse me sir, do you realise your wife fell out of your car 3 miles back?"
"thank F*ck for that. I thought I'd gone deaf..." ;-)

You might be right on that one couldn't you extend the garage forwards?

Sadly not, i spent a fortune on a roller shutter door and new driveway already!

She's never been in the mx5! Not once, it's "too dirty and a rust bucket"

If I buy a "posh" car, she will want to go out in it!

Think the E30 will be too long for the garage.
944 S2 cabrio just about fits though

I've been on the classifieds for 944's already, I think you might be right, it might "just" fit.

Well done to Mave

Personally I would head down the classic route of a Golf Clipper or if after something a little more modern a Beetle GTi Cab

How old are the children? Not 100% sure but pics only appear to show lap belts for the rear which might rule out car seats or may present safety concerns.

Ahhhhh. I didn't notice that. That's a bummer, they are 4 and t minus 2 and 1/2 months.

You can have 3 points in the normal version if that's of interest

A bit too long for the garage is the only issue though

Three seats, rear wheel drive and will fit.

Tough criteria. Not much is that short, and stuff that short and RWD is rare. If you're willing to compromise on RWD, you might have more choice.

Classics are all well and good, but that's hard to go for when you have children in the back and you want modern crash structures. Might a Mini Convertible (R57) appeal?
