The OP states he's looking for something to haul the family around in during the summer time. Lets see what he thinks about that statement when its 95 degrees out and raining, dealing with fogged up windows and/or stuck in traffic.

This is florida after all, and on most summer days we usually have to deal with frequent thunder storms.

While riding around with the top down on the open road can be awesome, have fun trying to haul your family around when they are trapped in a swealtering car and sweating buckets on a hot and humid florida day.

Short of a track car, I will never own anything without A/C again, that's for sure, even if it is a convertable that I could drop the top on when circumstances allow for it.
