Come on then PH's.

Wife's new car, she has an 07 Colt CZC Turbo at the moment which will be going, currently considering Defender 90 or a Cooper S Works, what else you got for me?

Scratched the convertible itch, so needs to be a tin-top

Department of left field choices suggestions of the day:

Suzuki Swift Sport if the torque the CZC has is not that important but better handling is.
Smart 44 Brabus if she did like the engine but not the Mitsubishi around it.
Mk IV Polo GT TDI. Q-car especially in resale silver, maps well -- 160 bhp and 275 lb/ft no problem.

Clio 197/200? Get one of the decent colours, certainly not dull! :-)
