Which are the best convertible cars?

Which car is better to own and drive - a 2009 BMW 1 Series Convertible diesel auto or an Audi A3 2.1-litre TDI Cabriolet?

It really depends on the condition of either car as to which is better to own, but the 1 Series Convertible offers a sharper and more fun driving experience. The Audi isn't as nice to drive and a bit more wobbly over bumps, but it has more space for passengers and a higher quality interior.
