Looking at buying a small 4 seater convertible, would like something with good mpg, a petrol preferable and less than £13k.

Current winner is a 2016 plate 1.5 mini cooper convertible is there anything else i should be thinking of?

Thanks in advance.

I had a friend with a 206 and the roof kept getting stuck which seemed to be a regular fault. Has this been fixed in the 07 ones?

Fairly sure the 206cc was built by Pininfarina whereas the later gen cars (207/8 + 307/8) were brought back in-house so that Peugeot could keep an eye on build quality.

The Focus CC was built by Pininfarina but I think the 206CC was built in-house

We’ve had a Mini One cabrio (older one not sure the year, maybe 2006) and a Beetle (2015 I think).

The mini was great fun to drive but the overall feel was bit ramshackly.

The beetle was miles better as a car - the Mrs really loved that car, with better fit and finish. Not as pocket-rocket / go-kart feel, even though it was a faster car.

Appreciate I’m comparing an older smaller car with a newer one though. But definitely consider the Beetle, that would be my choice (and the wife’s) smile
