What's the best convertible for £7k?

I am thinking of buying a convertible car with a metal folding hardtop. It needs to seat four adults and can be either a petrol or diesel. I have £7000 to spend, what do you recommend?

That will be a Ford Focus CC, Peugeot 307/308, Renault Megane or Vauxhall Astra Twintop. Colts, 207s, Micras, Tigras are too small. Check them all out at www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar

Much improved 2004 Focus. Great to drive. Comfortable and well laid-out interior. Wide range of engines. Low emission ECOnetic versions offer 55mpg +.
Space for four adults. Drives well. Plenty of safety kit. The standard 138bhp manual model is the one to go for.
