What are cool convertibles for men?

What is a cool thing economical for a man?

What is a cool daily for a man?

Women are lucky because they look cool in a lot of cars but how many cars do men look cool driving.

If you buy a car to look cool you have bigger issues.

However many PHers like the cheap running costs of an EV so will argue that anything of that ilk makes them looks like a real man.

Economical is not cool.

But MX-5 RF 2.0 in Soul Crystal red should cover all your bases.

Love these!! I don't subscribe to the mens/womens car stuff and could not give a damn what others think. This probably explains many of my car choices and at times 'unfortunate' dress sense.... smile

It's 2026. Does anyone really think like this now? Or is there a core group of PH rooted firmly in antiquity?

It makes me smile whenever I read such gender specific questions, even if asked in jest.

IMHO there is no such things as a cool convertible for a man - sorry MX5 lovers!

For a true PHer economy is irrelevant - more apologies to MX5 fans.

Cool daily has to be a BMW M or AMG Mercedes (real ones, not weedy diesels with M or AMG trim badges) or something like a Maserati Quattroporte maybe.

But I'm not cool and never have been so I'm sure others will have better ideas!

There is nothing that says real man more than driving say a pink Nissan Micra convertible or having and walking a chihauhau.

Only those men who are trying to hard to prove their masculinity drive V8's and have staffies hehe

Not sure if I mentioned I had a rescue chihauhau for 8 years although she sadly had to be put to sleep last week due to old age frown

Just remembered I had two V8's as well hehe

I handed in my butch card a fortnight ago and I'm now the very proud owner of a MX5 Homura spec 2.0.

I don't care what people think, I'm having fun and out driving it for no reason at all.

In my head I'm a 60s film star speeding along the sweeping bends up in the hills near Nice in a 914 biggrin

To others I'm an old balding guy with a beard having a late life crises smile

At least, currently, I'm fit enough to get into the low Recaro sports seats with some grace hehe

I used to own a mk1 MX5 Harvard edition. I loved driving it on country roads when only sheep could see me but felt conscious when there was humans around. That was my insecurities but an MX5 with a slightly wider arch and deep dish wheel would look amazing. I own a series 5 Quattroportte and would love to use it as a daily but the Maserati does not agree with me lol.

For a daily I am starting to think the previous 5series salons are handsome cars in a world of angles and suvs. A nice spec 520d ticks a lot of boxes. I like the Alfa Guilas but I think they are expensive.

I think men suit big Jag, Aston and e36 & 46 convertibles. Convertibles can be specific. I used to own 996 turbo convertible which is cool for a man but is a standard 996 cool for a man?

economical car an Audi A2.

Do not take this too seriously but men look cool in certain Makes and Models but women can look cool in just about anything.

I'd argue a Honda S2000 is a cool convertible but I think you have to know a bit about cars to appreciate it so maybe to the general population it isn't?

Hate these threads
Cool is not worrying about if anyone else thinks you are cool.
Buy what you like
