Renault Megane CC, is the best for under £20k at the moment, not only is the roof a folding hard top, it's also made of glass.

Any idea what they drive like?
The 206cc is way too small, I have both a 10 and 13 year old boy which need to be jammed in the back lol

Saab 93, very nice but very expensive

IMHO Bug Convertible is the best quality by miles - a bit slow (2.0l ok - wifey's got one) - tiny boot, but residuals good. Mini may be great to drive, but even smaller than all the others. At least the bug has a reasonable bonnet in case of a front end shunt.

Why hasnt anyone else mentioned this ?

Beetles and pugs an other crap are not special enough.
A 321 bhp rwd with luxury,superb performance,superior build quality,and high residual value is more desirable than poxy little town cars.

Sorry if anyone owns any of the others,I dont know much about them but sadly I dont think one would interest me unless a babe is driving.

Not new, but a used Audi A4 cabrio might be an option.
