Which convertible sports car should I buy?

I am 66 and want to buy a convertible car. I would prefer a 1.6-litre but a 1.8-litre is a possibility, and not too high on insurance, please. Got no preference on fuel, the car is not currently garaged but on driveway in a decent area.

You can pick up a used Mazda MX-5 1.8 cheaply, but it might not be roomy enough inside for you. An alternative is a Peugeot 207CC. Best engine the 1.6THP 150, otherwise the 1.6VTI 120.
