4 seater convertible with decent boot..

[nick1871]

Does such a thing exist?

Thinking along the lines of E class, A5, 4 series etc.. needs to have 4 seats but will only have the kids in the back so rear legroom isn’t too important but decent ish boot space would be good.

Has anyone got experience of these and which has the most useable boot?

Budget is about £18k so if it’s the E class then probably the 2015/2016 model.

Guess the only way is to check them out in person when possible..

Thanks all..

As an ex-owner of a 16 E convertible a couple of points:

Scuttle shake, espescially over potholes and broken surfaces is very noticeable.
Squeaky seals - argh.
Decentish ride.
Decentish handling.
Well insulated with the roof up.
Eats conti rears due to the weight on them.
Tight back seats - noted this doesn't matter.
Interior is not great, but quite germanic so liveable.
Boot with the roof divider down makes it quite difficult to put things in/take things out.
I believe the speakers on the rear panel shelf are dummies.
Would recommend the 350d or 400 petrol (unicorn in convertible*), no 500 of that vintage.


Eta: Strangely difficult to place in tight gaps - e.g. far more difficult than any big car I have owned. We reckoned this was because the passenger cell is much narrower than the corners. Was constantly being kerbed.
