| 2008 2009 Chrysler Prowler |
| When the maker of The 2008 2009 Chrysler Prowler made minor refinements to this vehicle it was visible and apparent. This allowed it to compete better with other makes and models in it's class. A new color is the only change of note for The 2008 2009 edition of Chrysler's retro hot rod. This limited-production, rear-wheel-drive 2-seat convertible has a manual folding cloth top with heated glass rear window. The only engine is a 253-hp 3.5-liter V6 shared with the division's full-size cars. It's linked to an automatic transmission with Chrysler's Auto Stick, which has a separate gate for manual shifting. This class features an interesting mix of hard-core performance models and more luxurious touring convertibles. The 2008 2009 2009 Chrysler Prowler is fast, comfortable, and reasonably affordable. Unlike previous models it doesn't beat you up with a hard ride, and it will cruise quietly at highway speeds. |

Our other Best Buy, the Mazda Miata, is a bare-bones roadster with few frills and average acceleration, but for weekend fun on a twisty back road it's hard to beat. Audi's TT is solid, stylish, and loaded with features making it fit for the Recommended list. Like no other in its class, TT offers the all-weather advantage of available quattro AWD at a great price. Of course, if you don't mind spending a few more bucks, we recommend you take a look at the Mercedes-Benz SLK. The Mercedes offers an interesting mix of performance and luxury. It also has a retractable hardtop, making it more of an all-weather car. Though ending a slow-selling limited edition never improves the bottom line that much, Chrysler dealers really don't need the showroom draw of a nostalgia car created to liven up the image of a now-defunct brand. Besides, they'll have a brand-new "halo" model come 2008 2009: the sleek Crossfire coupe, designed around the chassis and components of parent Mercedes-Benz's E-Class sedan. |
