Chip,
Look for a Honda del Sol. If you're into sporty driving, be sure to get one with the 1.6 litre B16A DOHC VTEC engine. This is a wonderful engine (8k rpm redline) that will go 200,000 miles with reasonable care. There were three trim levels: S, Si, and VTEC. A lot of sellers advertise the Si cars as VTECs but you don't want one of those.
The fellow I bought it from fitted it with a rear strut tower brace, a front strut tie bar, & Eibach springs which lowers it a bit (I have about three inches of ground clearance) so it corners like a slot car. It also has a cold air intake, a header and a low restriction exhaust. These bolt-ons aren't all that expensive and really make this car fun (really fun) to drive.
Besides that, it's a convertible.
