Which £10k Convertible for mooching?

[monkey_boy]

Hi All,

What cars should be considered when looking for a convertible to mooch around the Isle of Wight/New Forest/Normandy. Must have 4 seats. Must be average mileage. Must not be ancient. These criteria are non-negotiable

EDIT- My laziness knows no bounds this morning, so any links would be much appreciated

I've been looking through and have come up with a little shortlist, which I was hoping you lot might pick through and give your thoughts on. Please bear in mind that the priorities are: 4 decent seats, capable of standing for long periods of time, low depreciation.

E46

E46 would be my choice.

A friend has an A4 cab (2 people I know actually!) who had an EOS before, she wishes she kept the EOS. No idea what baring that has if any!

That's interesting, any idea why? If it's down to the car's aura or feng shui or some other nonsense then just tip us the nod and we'll move swiftly on

The 3 Series cab is not replaced until 2014.

That's actually really good to know. It will be at least a little while until the e46 cab is worth buttons like the e36 now is. I must admit though, the age of the design and therefore the image of the car is a bit of a concern? Are all 4 seats in the e46 just as useful as in the other cars I've listed?
