Short and girly

I am a 26-year-old female and would like to buy a small convertible car that looks quite flashy. I would like it to still be quite economical to run, lower insurance, fuel consumption etc. I have looked at the Mazda MX-5 and the Peugeot 207CC and just wondered if there were any others you could recommend? Also if you knew of any good offers at the moment?

It's summer and after MX-5 prices dropped like a body off a bridge last November, they are now very buoyant so discounts aren't that easy unless you go for a pre-revamp unused model that might still be hanging around in the corner of a compound somewhere. Same goes for Peugeot 207CCs, which have just been facelifted. Try www.drivethedeal.com
