Convertibles - Astra, Focus, 307... ?
I had a search and couldn't find much.
Thinking of getting a convertible, but also want a "bit" of performance, needs 4 seats (don't ask why it has to be convertible... it just does
).
Drove an Astra Twintop 2.0 turbo today, not bad, not WRX territory I know, but it's not supposed to be.
Wife also like the looks of the new Focus convertible, (not very powerful, 145PS), plus the 307 (180PS version) looks nice.
So, we are in the £20K and below region, new, or nearly new. She wants convertible, (hard top), I want comprimise between looking nice and having a bit of oomph.
Any suggestions are welcome. TIA

Convertibles are a waste of money, especially going by this dismal summer. I have access to a renault megane hardtop convertible and trust me when I say this mate its just not worth it at all going by the sun you get in this country. Get a propper car instead.
