It sure is a lot of money for the amount of metal you are getting but it's a fun open topped car with premium materials; the leather seats look delightful; you arent far short of a Jaguar F type at this sort of money though so i think i might stretch the budget a little for one of those; had a look round it at the weekend; very nice-50k!

OOOPS dopey me; derrr . Right nearer 30k in uk pounds; mmm not so sure now. Sorry folks!

Actually i don't think the starting price at £18k for a cooper cabrio is bad; of course you can then add masses of kit but i think off the top of my head it will be one if not the cheapest new uk cabrio with an electric roof ! And it's a super roof too.
The JCW starts at £26,600 and i'd be happy to just add leather and chilli pack making a cracking little rocket ship for less than £30,000.
Depends if this is the sort of thing you want of course, mazda is slower, etc etc
