I still say, forget the convertible - Throw a moon roof on your Yaris instead. You'll still have a 4 season car that's even better on the good weather days.

I know where you're coming from - I had a Miata for six months during a temporary assignment to the West Coast back in 1993. I have to say though that a tiny car with a big moonroof is mighty close.

seriously, if you get a 2004 comes with the f22c1 8000 rpm redline and 240 hp still getting awesome mpg!!!
