Home is where Christmas dinner is, so it’s vital to get there in time. And what's the best way to do that? A stylish used car, of course.
Here are a few ways to make sure you're home while the turkey is still warm - bangernomically, against the odds.
Best used roadsters and cabrios for (un)seasonal fun
Audi A3 Cabriolet
The sensible prestige open-top of choice has four rings and a dumpy body. The fully automatic roof takes just nine seconds to erect, plus it has extra insulation and a proper heated rear window, so perfect for Yuletide trips. Clutch wear, steering racks, radiators and sensors can spoil the mood.

Bentley Continental GTC
There are few opportunities to enjoy a 12-cylinder convertible. What a spectacular Christmas present to give to yourself. The roof takes 19 seconds at road speeds of up to 30mph to open. The mechanism’s microswitches can fail. You can manually open and shut it, but that isn’t so dignified (and is best done when stationary).

The mk3 Renault Laguna and the Laguna Coupe which is based off it where no worse than any other car of the era. In fact they were far better than any car from any if the German brands for reliabi6and equal to the Japanese and Korean stuff because Renault had learned its lesson with the MK2 Laguna. It's the same even today. French cars are built better and more reliable than any if that German rubbish.
Errors:
Not Stery-Puch but Steyr-Puch
Haflinger is very slow. therefore Half_Linger
There was a short production period where some 1.4tsi Audi A3 facelift cabrios cost £20 or £30 to tax. 2016-2017 models? If I had the space, I'd buy one of those as a fun car.
