I dunno what they are in they are in the UK, or even if they exist over there, but off the top of my head:

Ford Mustang Convertible
Chevy Camaro Convertible (there might be a vauxhall or opel equivalent)
Toyota Solara Convertible
Mitsubishi Spyder
vw cabrio
Mini Cooper Convertible (only a 2+2 though)
bmw 3 & 6 series
i think some of the older 911's were softtops

good luck, if all else fails... get a hacksaw and a vw

Mercedes SL convertible
Audi 80/A4 cabriolet

Nothing in the UK. CLKs, A4s, 3 series' all have only two seats in the back. Probably buy something American.

Saab 9-3?

carl 13 December 2004 09:02 PM

Chrysler Sebring convertible is, AFAIK, the only 5-seater convertible on sale in the UK.

DoctorEvil 13 December 2004 09:13 PM

Citroen do one in the C3 apparently

Bubba po 13 December 2004 09:29 PM

Saab 9-3 Aero seems the business... they look great. Got to be five seats there, unless you're taking five fatties to the seaside..... :D

carl 13 December 2004 09:55 PM

Saab 9-3 Convertible has only four seats (i.e. only four seatbelts).

Really? How cack. Not even a central lap-belt? or are they illegal now?

bloke 13 December 2004 10:54 PM

And they are bloody small seats cos like most cabs the roof mechanism removes some of the space :(

How about a 2cv ;)

bloke 13 December 2004 11:00 PM

Or some of the 4wd's do two sets of sun-roofs?

Or you might be better off looking at older pre-electric roof carsif it's just for 1 summer - where the roof sits on the back of the car rather than disappears?

freelander?

ianc 14 December 2004 09:18 AM

Indeed, all the 3series \ saab \ A4's are 2 seats in the rear.. as are the frontera sport, vitara's etc..

It's only for three kids in the back, all under 5... so I need to buy something old, american, and with a burbly V8? Hmmm... :D

mervil 14 December 2004 09:23 AM

Audi S4 convertible mmmmmmmm

ianc 14 December 2004 09:31 AM

only two seatbelts... how would you choose which one of your children was going to die in an accident???

If one was ginger it would be an easy choice.

DoctorEvil 14 December 2004 04:39 PM

how about the chryserler one - isn't the convertible cruiser a five seater?

Sport160 14 December 2004 05:18 PM

Ian

Went through this same process, couldn't find anything at sensible price with 5 full seat belts.

Checked the following C3, 206/307cc Megane Astra, BMW, A4, Mini and then gave up and bought the wife a tin top

What about Merc CLK's ??

ianc 14 December 2004 07:39 PM

CLK cab is a four seater...

Looks like only option is something with a huge moonroof... shame :(

..or old an american and chromey... :D

carl 14 December 2004 08:55 PM

CLK coupe is a four seater too, but with a bigger space between the rear seats than the convertible. Seems a bit odd -- surely they could have fitted a seat in there :confused:

Luan Pra bang 08 July 2006 04:51 PM

Audilover do you ever post anything that does not make you look like a complete **** ?

KiwiGTI 08 July 2006 06:44 PM

Any more than two people in a convertible makes you look like complete twats.

Jay m A 08 July 2006 11:46 PM

You seemed to get ignored though so I decided to back you up a bit. ;)

Jay m A 09 July 2006 12:44 AM

Cheers, although I must say backup was a tad late :D
