Which convertible is best for £25,000?

We are considering replacing our wonderful petrol Saab 9.3 Aero Convertible after 90,000 miles, with a similar spec used car. Our budget is £25k. We wish to avoid diesel due to long term downside. Annual mileage around 12,000. Should we stick with the Saab or trade in? What would you recommend?

What I would do is get an Audi A3 Convertible with the base 1.4 TSI ACT 150 engine. That is the sweet spot of the range and starts at around £25,000.
