Answer 4

id say honda civic, but its not convertible, maybe, VW EOS

Answer 5

My car gets 23mpg and its pretty big and has an inefficient but powerful engine, it's kind of sad that you would set so low of standards.

I'd say a used Honda Del Sol, it gets 28/35mpg

Mazda Miatas are pretty good for those criteria 23/28mpg or so

Beyond that are a lot of cars which get worse gas mileage or are unreliable and also the S2000 which has never been available with an automatic transmission.
