As a former alfa spider 939 owner twice over Get the roof serviced because if it breaks good luck fixing it. They play up regularly as well so it can be a tense ownership experience when you’re aware of the lack of spare parts available. Gearboxes are an issue with the 2.2 and timing chains on all jts petrols They also handle like a pig as well so don’t think it’s going to handle like the gtv and classic spiders
Id go for the porsche boxster. Did used to have an eye for the E93 330i in white with red interior and the m performance twin 5 spokes but the 2011 LCi ones are going for near 10k and hard to find a manual one
I always find convertibles a bit disconcerting to drive, even though it's not like I've rolled any car (even if I've tried pretty hard on occasion 🤣). On the rare occasions I've driven them, I've never felt comfortably pushing them at all... Best looking...honourable mentions to the F355, 300SL, Mk1 Corvette and most of the 60s, but the winner is clear: The Corsa B 😆 Ok fine, maybe the Z8.
I like your lunch downs on cars under £XXXX. Usually, you're not for from my tastes. This time, I'm stunned that you missed off your list of a MERCEDES CLK. For under £5K you could get behind the wheel of a 2009 CLK280 with 3.0L V6 under your right foot.
Do one for high performance estate cars I’m looking to buy an S4 Avant on a 66 plate so much value for money I remember them being 40k+ only a few years ago
Don’t buy a E93 320i, it couldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding. Due to the weight of the car with the hardtop think minimum is 6 cylinder and ideally 335i. I acknowledge if you want a clean one which is LCI looking at more like 12k but you do get a DCT for that as well. Think mx-5 is still ruling this category mind.
Title is a bit of an odd one. Cheap cars... for summer? Anyone buying a different car for a different season likely isn't buying something cheap. Even failing that, we're in the UK - we only have 3 days of summer!
SO CHEAP is literally on the thumbnail.. it’s under 5k mate. What do you expect? Or are you just so bored you have to comment shit in hopes you’ll get responses from people to lighten your day?
Mx5 NC for me. I know they still rust, but still not quite as bad as a mk2 and they're still good to drive
SLK and Z4 for honorable mentions, how about convertibles for under 10k?

Was expecting to see Saab 9-3 V6.
Loved my 9-3 aero convertible!
No way that’s my red NC MX-5😂
In my opinion the volvo c70 is just an over priced ford focus cc. By the way were they built at the same place also? The convertible versions?
I loved my spyder however it has a chrome centre console that is angled perfectly to ensure that the sun bounces directly into your eyes! 👀
These are magic. Consistency is frightening. If you run dry remember trades love their vans
No Z4?
Picked a much worse option at number 1
Z4’s never make any of his lists for some reason.. think I saw it once maybe
Definitely should have the 9-3 in the top 5 in my opinion. Owned a 9-3 aero convertible and wished I had kept it, bug couldn't afford to run 2 cars.

S2000 best looking
Saab 9-3,sl, clk, z3, z4, slk, s2000, golf mk6.5... So many not on this list
How dare you mention a golf in the same sentence. Agree that the mercs and saab beemers are up there.
If you haven't seen, a lot of females are driving it in fun 😊
CLK 500? Saab 93 V6 ?
Clk500 slightly out of budget for a good convertible. Clk350 should be in there though. Had one a few years ago. Loved it
Where are those prices?
The jags a bargain, its a db7 with cheaper parts.

How can the 9-3 not be on this list ???
If anyone is looking at an xk8 get the r instead. Definitely worth the few pennies extra
Supercharged V8? Yes please.
@PastaIsNotNoodles
That's the one. Supercharged v8 running about 400bhp.
Saab 9-3
Il take the 320
Number one is the JAG number two is the Volvo 😎
No 6 series bmw 🤔🤔🤔 you can get for under 5 g better than any car u had on list
Convertibles: look at me!!!
A tuna car? Sounds fishy to me!
Why always GMW?
Audi tt
First bosh get in there
Bmw 507
I don't like 4 seater convertibles.

You do realize you can spend 30k on a single car or get 3 or 4 used cars for different purposes? Plus not everyone lives in the UK.
Shush
With only 3 days of summer it is important to make the most of them!
Clown
Lots of junk in that list
What do you expect for 5k lad

True junk
