There nice for a girl, but i think a better girly convertable is a 206 CC, get a top of the range one with all the extras and that would be a much better car.

Rear wheel drive is no big problem, try driving some RWD cars and you'll soon get used to the feel of it.
2 seats just means you have to be picky who you take with you on journies.

Get one, solid reliable, mid-engined RWD light car, it will be a joy to drive. Don't worry about RWD I find it MUCH more natural to drive than a FWD.

I've drove that model MR2. They are nice to drive, bit like a go-kart handling wise. However over rough roads you get a lot of skuttle shake - the steering column shakes a bit. Not very practical either - no boot. After that I drove a mk2 MX-5 and bought one, much better car and hold their value better.
