Fiat 500C 1.4 PopPrice £13,700
Target Price £13,700

Bags of charm and cheap to run. The 500C is considerably more expensive than the
500 hatchback, but it's still cheaper than most rivals.
Mini Cooper Convertible 1.6, '09/09Price £14,900

All the fun and desirability of the hatch, but with open-top thrills. The Mini also hangs onto its value brilliantly and should do 49mpg.
Volkswagen Eos 1.6 FSI, '07/07Price £14,900

This sharp-looking cabrio is expensive when new, but a two-year-old model is within Annika's reach. It's classy and great to drive.
