* Bargain convertibles * Real-world examples * What Car?'s Approved Used scheme offers peace of mind...
Autumn might seem like a strange time to be thinking about convertibles, but as the weather worsens and the days get shorter drop-top prices tend to fall.
In fact, there are a number of great convertibles available for less than £15,000. Here's a selection of our favourites from the What Car? classifieds:
Audi TT Roadster 2.0T FSI
Audi's TT Roadster is a What Car? favourite. It's a stylish convertible that offers a premium image and fantastic build quality, while being great to drive. This 2010 car is our pick of the range. The 2.0-litre petrol engine gets the TT Roadster to 62mph in 6.7 seconds and averages 36.2mpg. This example has covered nearly 38,000 miles and costs £13,495.
Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe Sport Black
The Mazda MX-5 is the world's best-selling two-seater sports car – and with good reason. It's great fun to drive and offers fantastic value for money. This 2011 Roadster Coupe has a folding metal roof and has done just 2000 miles. It can be yours for £14,995.
