Lol

As title says.

She has a 52reg Astra Convertible 2.2 Auto. Wants to get something newer...

wants something convertible and automatic, small cars are preferable. Budget max 12k i think!

so far thought of:

Vx Tigra
Audi tt roadster

she likes mini's but do they do autos? And how cheap can u pick up a 2yr old one for?

any suggestions welcome, remember tho it has to be AUTOMATIC!

You can get Mini drop tops in an Auto but you would be pushing it to get one for 12k thats 2 year old.

For 12k you could get a 3/4 year old Cooper with a high spec, leather , climate, control, heated seats, sat nav, computer etc.

dont tell her to get a tigra jam!
its a easytronic gearbox in them
basicaaly a electronicly shifted manual and they are nothing like as smooth as a normal auto
twin top astra would be the best bet in vauxhall form
