Is the Mazda MX5 RF really the only new sub £25K convertible with a folding metal roof?

What other choices are there? Ideally a two seater sports car, but give me other suggestions of convertible coupes/saloons if they exist.

No other suggestions, but my partner has a 2018 one, and it is, to be honest, bloody brilliant.

I had the RF as a loaner and hated it, feels so much heavier and less agile than the soft top.

What if the requirement for the metal roof is ignored - what other sub £25K candidates does that now bring into consideration?

Obviously the Fiat 125 Spyder (and the other MX5s), what others have I missed?

Coast to Coast cars reckon you can get a manual MB SLC180 for just a midge over £25k...

You can also get a BMW 2 series for £25k from most brokers. https://www.carwow.co.uk/bmw/2-series-convertible/...

If you're interested in an Abarth 124, you may find it cheaper to lease than buy, there have been some great deals on these recently.
