If you can find a good one, how about a Citroen DS3 Cabrio.
I used to have one. Very comfortable and easy to access.

More room in a Golf Convertible. I've owned a couple of MINIs (though not a convertible). Test drove a Golf Convertible a few years ago (which turned out to have engine oil pressure problems). Liked that as a car, but there is a lack of boot security as access can be gained by dropping the rear seats from inside the cabin. Manual hood IIRC which was a plus point to me.

Briliant - thanks John. Found one on A***** for less than a tenner!

There's a lot of leverage on that device. Hope it doesn't damage or distort the loop

Try putting a bin bag on the seat so she can spin or slide on that, works!

Well I’ve taken the plunge and put a deposit on a Golf GT cabriolet. Mums says she’s been in one as a taxi (hardtop) and it was fine.

Now the hardest part - letting go of the Mazda!

Thanks for the suggestions folks.
