Two cars to one. - daveyjp
Friends are considering going from two cars to one and a works van.

Currently have an A4 - husband's and weekend car - good for passenger and load carrying and long trips.

Wife has a smart cabrio - good for her daily commute and parking in urban areas - cabrio good fun in summer.

They need something between the two. Have considered a Mini Cooper S. Convertible

Pluses - still quite small so easy to park, still a cabrio, good for longer journeys.

Negatives - really only a two seater, small boot (they don't want to use the van for shopping), £20,000 price tag.

I have suggested something along the lines of a new Golf convertible but it's not available yet. Audi convertible is too big and they won't consider a French motor so no Pug or Renault Coupe/Cabrios!

£20,000 budget.

A colleague has just ordered one of the rollout models of the Astra cabrio, loads of extras at £16500.

If they get in quick their might be some left.
