Buying a practical but sporty convertible for £15k

I am after a sporty but practical convertible. I need room for four people (but can be two-door door), reasonable boot (for sports kit and odd bag), good build quality and efficient fuel consumption. My budget is £15,000-£20,000 and I was thinking about a BMW 120. Any recommendations?

Yes, okay. Same class as an Audi A3 cabrio and Golf Mk VI cabrio. Some engine problems with all of these. Check them out in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycer
