There is a kind of Vel Satis theme to them now. That's what I'd do of course, style a whole range of cars on a quirky car that never sold well :unsure:. If I wanted a small convertible that shouted "I'm gay" I'd go for the VW Eos, miles ahead of the rest IMO.

You have to stretch a bit to Mercedes SLK. Yes, it's a lot more expensive but it's actually a nice car to drive rather than a Megan or 206 with the roof cut off. Engineers at Mercedes actually started out with the intentions of making a convertible car so they did it the right way :).

I love the EOS but it is out of my budget sadly :( husband was going to get the SLK but ended up with a Volvo, long story.

I had loads of Renaults over the years and never had any problems with them.

you can trade in though, you wont get a great price though.

Prob with most conv cars here is the AC compressors break down and they cost a fortune.
