Fun 4 seater convertible up to circa £14k ish

[Ole gits rule]

Audi S5 cab all day long for that budget. Older ones are V8 4.2 N/A, newer are V6 s/charged, both within range. AWD too.

Very very nearly bought one a few months ago, then realised I already have a cab!!

Got to stop somewhere, thought the mileage was sensible as well so would have decent resale value later on

IMO, picture number 2 highlights the issue with what you’re looking for True-Blue, You’re not getting 2 teenagers in there comfortably no matter how much they’ve inherited your height genes

My partner and I are both 5’7’’ so we don’t need the front seats that far back

Think you have to take the girls when you test drive a car and see what they say - I am certain they will be fine, in fact its worse with toddlers in baby seats as they kick the front seats

Being 6’2 I just look at that and think as Sean says. Take everyone for the rest drive and you’ll know one way or another.

Good luck with the hunt and hopefully you’ll get something soon to enjoy the good weather

Ok, so I had an E88 125i in 2014 for a while and the kids had plenty of space..... roll on to 2021

You were all correct, 1 series is too small for anything other than very small children or local trips... so that’s off of the list

Part of the fun is collectively trying them all, interesting to see how you get on with a 3 series

Nice Triumph Stag, lovely noise, lovely to look and it will only go up in value

We all live and learn, kids are still growing and it will be no fun if they are constantly complaining in the back, get the M3 and make the most of the power
