Which 2+2 for the sun?

[seastorm]

Hello PHers

I'm moving to South of France and thinking about which car to buy when I'm there.

It has only three requirements:

1. Nice to drive / sporty
2. Drop top or targa
3. 2+2 / room for two little ones in the back

The only thing I can think of is a Porsche GTS Targa.

I cannot think of any other car that fits the bill.

Can anyone help? There must be more than one choice out there??

Thank you.

Budget? Used/new/either? Buy/lease?

[seastorm]

Budget is pretty flexible... Likely lightly used and up to 100k Euros.

X150 XKR or a DB11?

Would a 911 be quite firm? Not sure how much I'd enjoy it after the first hour or so of feeling everything on the road?

Spyder Elan 2+2?

Grancabrio I think these are the better executed than the California:

Assuming the children have legs the DB9 is hopeless the 911 and xkr marginally better but not much. Also that amount of money on an old jag not sure it’s even possible let alone advisable.
Also kids have a nasty habit of getting big quite quickly
The GranCabrio is a proper looker and a proper 2+2 and sounds amazing

As a follow up to my suggestions above, i cant currently find an S63/560/500 so posted for some temporary alternatives, someone suggested one of these..

[ZX10R NIN]

You won't be getting one of those for less than 100K.

cant imagine theyre much more in uk are they? Or dont you have them there yet?

Gopping interior colours though

Seeing as the op will be my neighbour in the south of france then the germany offering might appeal
