So my MX5 pcp is due up next month, and I was originally going to pay the final payment and keep it. However the combination of new job, being a bit bored and not using the MX5 as much as I thought (it's only got 13,800 miles on it from new in March 2013) meant I'd started to look for something to replace it. I test drove the Mercedes SLC last week and quite fancied an SLC200 Sport which I've seen new for £23k.

However following discussion over the weekend with the OH, I can now replace both the MX5 and the CX5 as long as it's with one car! This puts a whole new dimension on what I can look at, as I'm spending £600 per month so this puts things like an M5 into play - with a few caveats.

These are, it preferably would be a convertible, 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, not too big and 4 seats, fun to drive but not too hardcore, and not single figures in fuel consumption as I do 15k miles per year. Oh, and no older than 2011 so my number plate can go on it.

Having looked at what's available, I'm really struggling to think of something that fits the bill so I thought I would ask the collective wisdom of PH.

So what should I be looking at?

I think the 6 series and E class would just be a bit too big.
