Mercedes makes some great convertibles with automatics. If you're going to get a modern, powerful, non-track car, you may as well get an automatic as it will be much faster than a manual that way. None of these are purist cars. Also, if you're going to have auto-rev match, you're 3/4 to an automatic as you're taking the only challenging part out of shifting.


If I got a convertible, it would almost certainly be a last gen E450 cabriolet. 2023 is the last year. Tons of them available new and used.


Also realize that a lot of convertibles are horrible with the top up. It does get cold in Ohio, ya know. Be sure to drive them top up and down.
