The weather is nice, spacious budget: we’re going shopping today!

Now the temperatures pleasant, and the sunshine hours increase, the itch. Sacha is his SL to the brush: the ultimate sign that summer there again. The zomerkriebels are not only on the editors, but also by Jochem. Like @nicolasr has Jochem a Saab 900 (NG) Convertible.

Despite the fact that Jochem about to speak, remains the times. There should be a new car because the 900 is very age. To make it a bit practical to keep the new car a vierzits cabriolet. Not that you are always with z’n celebrate on the road, but it is always a nice idea that you have to get people to take.

Before we go any further, the table as you are used to from us:

In short, a smooth and comfortable four-seater. Take a look with C-segment cabriolets. These offer a lot of value for their money, but are often very tight. So a 1-series, A3, C70 or the Eos are good offers, but in the back you can hold it, not for long. Only the Cascada is (nearly) an exception. A vierzits cabrio is never really over in the back, such as Casper found in the new Mercedes S500 Convertible. But a 1-series, S40, and A3 are all tight on the back seat, a convertible word right there even tighter. Fortunately, you have plenty to choose from. After long deliberation, these are the options:

Audi A5 Cabriolet
Almost the default choice in its segment. The Audi still looks always very good and also the interior is perfect. There are there, so make sure you have a complete copy, some are quite scarce equipped. The 2.0 TFSI engine is in the handling very nice: fast, quiet and relatively economical. Note that this engine, a fix has had on the olieschraapveren. In terms of tranmissie is the manual gearbox is the finest option. Quattro is advisable, especially in the rain do you still get traction issues. In terms of driving, the A5 is not very exciting, but competent.

Lexus IS250C
Again such a case: ‘that was still there’. Lexus is off to the affecting the IS. The first was, just as a station wagon (Sportcross) and of the current, there is a Compartment (RC). The second generation was a convertible with steel klapdak. All luxury, always with the 2.5 V6 and automatic transmission. Not the most sporty car, or a very sophisticated. The Mark Levinson stereo is very good. It doesn’t matter, but the look is certainly a plus. Like the Saab, it is not wrong car. Something the Germans are not entirely free from his.

Opel Cascada
Opel was clever enough to make the car not Astra Cabriolet to name a few, because you do him seriously. First of all: look for it! The Cascada is truly a beautiful car. The interior is clearly not an Audi or Mercedes, but it is certainly not wrong. In terms of drive, you should really see this as a comfortable cruiser, the weight is quite high and the engines are not powerhouses such. Doesn’t matter, in the daily use of a perfect car. Another advantage is that you have a 30 mille a very recent copy can get.

Infiniti G37 Cabrio
Where the Lexus a little power short has the Infiniti this. As with the Lexus, there was no choice in engine, so you’ll always have a 3.7-liter V6 from the Nissan 370Z. The performance is at a substantially higher plan. The Infiniti is something extroverter than the Lexus and also the inside is somewhat more unique. In terms of drive may be the best choice, because it is a great achterwielaandrijver. The combination engine with the sleek frame is a very pleasant. And it is an original choice, such as a Saab once was.

BMW 6-series Cabriolet
The BMW 3-series Convertible the E93 of course, would be a good option, but today we opt for the 6-series. For the E93, we have an other option. The 6-series is just that bit more spacious and has a fabric roof. So chic. In your budget various models, always go for the models after the facelift. The 650i is very smooth, while the nicer current 630i is not short. And the design is still impressive that more beautiful seems to be. Look to do some where you take him from, because there are enough 6-series, dubious traders in a wrong execution.

Mercedes-Benz E-class Cabrio
If the BMW and Audi in this overview, hear this. Praiseworthy from Mercedes that they are aware of no dynamic auto wanted to build, but a comfortable one. The E-Coupe and Cabriolet are not even AMG versions have been, a thick achtcilinder however. You can check to see. Cruising the Benz like no other, the rest on board is remarkable. The 350 engine fits best with the character of the car, but its very difficult to find. The 200/250 models offer adequate performance at an acceptable power consumption. But that 3.5 liter V6 is the engine you want.

Saab 9-3 Aero Cabriolet
Now you are already a Saab… In the budget, you can choose from almost any Saab Convertible. The topversie was the Aero with the 2.8 engine. In terms of ride and finish this car on a lower plan than the Germans and Japanese. It’s all a little less refined. On also logical, because the 9-3 is a full generation older. The chairs are very nice and many instances are well in the sticks. Wouter explains like from where you have to pay attention. Definitely has a certain charm.

Yolo!! Alpina B3 Biturbo Convertible
For this, you will be a quick visit to Germany. The Alpina B3 is based on the already lovely 335i. But for the B3, everything was on a higher level. More power, more torque and more comfort. The Alpina is his car that you will never want to do: the driving characteristics are on a rare high level. They are found between 25-30k, but remember that the rare cars.
