I tried, he's not into hatches haha

 

[Rockchops]

What about a good 300Z 2+2? T-tops and a decent back seat.

That's gonna be too old most likely, he would probably like it but hes already comin from a 1994 car.

MkV GLI or Wolsburg with the TSI 2 liter.

E46 3series convertible

+1 just about any e46 3 series would get the job done.

 

[RGGTI41510]

E90 ?

I'd probably look at an 07+ Lexus IS 250 or 350 personally though. 250 with a manual. Off the top of my head

E46 ZHP 330i/330Ci one of my fav looking cars.

 

[Rcode]

I agree with the E46. If he has a kid in a car seat it'll be too small though. My friend is looking to sell his 330i and move into a 5 series for that reason.

If you're interested

Welp, he's dead set on a Mustang convertible despite my (your) suggestions. Not the worst outcome though, not a bad car.

the v6 seems nice for what it is, no doubt.

G35 will give him back seats but I don't even think a 5 year old would fit back there

Look at the new Passat or Dodge Charger if you want mega back seat room.

Yeah as long as it's a 2011+ the V6 is great, though it doesn't feel very "sports car" like with the automatic and MPG-oriented stock gearing. It's remarkable how completely different a standard auto V6 Mustang feels compared to one with MT and performance pack, like night and day. 0-60 goes from something like 6.5 seconds down to 5 seconds.
