Default Boxster cause i'm a ***? 15k roadster convertible, what are my choices?

I want a convertible again,I really miss my del sol. I can spend 12-15k, what are some recommendations? I dont want a car that is old or has reliability problems.


--edit

15k Roadster list

1. Porsche Boxster
low end torque for a DD
more prestigious brand name
mid engine
looks sexier than s2k with speedster humps (extra 700-1k) installed
2. S2000
faster than the porsche boxster
easier to work on
more reliable
Over all better product and cheaper
Looks the best stock

s2k is probably the only legitimate convertible i would drive. Most sportier cars that are normally sex on wheels look like ---- when they make them convertibles. My personal choice beyond an s2k or a del slo would be a 300zx tt with t-tops. Thats sex on wheels right there. They made them up to 96 i believe, so though thats not new, pretty much anyone that has half a ---- for a brain would still have it in like-new condition

I don't see a problem with the s2k. Definitely would take it over a miata or del sol.

Ever consider something like a Triumph TR6 or MGB or a Spitfire or Sunbeam Tiger? Bit older, but would be loads of fun, especially the Tiger.. Mini-Shelby ftw. One of my frat brothers chose an S2K over a Boxster and doesn't regret it though
