Most Wanted Convertible Under $35,000

Honda S2000 Winner: Honda S2000

Somehow, all auto scribes seem to use the same phrase when describing the handling of the Honda S2000 — "razor sharp." Three years into its production, the S2000 is still commanding a premium from its buyers. Why? Start with a maniacal engine that can extract 240 horsepower from its measly 2.0-liter displacement and an agile chassis with a 50/50 front to rear weight ratio. Then throw in a precision steering rack and wrap it up with an exterior that's as dashing as it is simple, and you've got a recipe for a sexy, desirable roadster. Wait, is it possible for a Honda to be sexy? With the S2000, it is.


 Honorable Mention: Audi TT

No, the TT's not overly athletic, and the grin plastered on your face won't necessarily be from driving it fast on a curvy road. What it will likely come from is the joy of looking at the beautifully rendered interior and the still stylish exterior. The TT is available with front-wheel drive and 180 horsepower or all-wheel drive and 225 hp. Inside, aluminum and leather dominate a decidedly industrial theme that blends retro and modern design elements into one enticing package. If carefree days on coastal highways and year-round use are in your forecast, a TT could be a nice addition to your garage.
