I have heard about there being problems with the roof mechanism on the new cooper convertible. does anyone know if this is still a problem or if this has been sorted?

My mothers looking at changing her car to one, also any other problems that we need to look out for?

Cheers

Out of them the only proper 4 seater is the Astra, I don't think the Mini's are great for rear space either.

A4 convertible? I think they'll be expensive though.

Never seen it with a GSi front, that is lovely.

Your dad won't look right in any 2 seater convertibles we've been talking about. He'll only look good in a Z4, Porsche Boxter or something of the like.

May be the new MX5, not so much a hairdressers car that it used to be imo.
