I can comment on the C70 as a current owner. It is heavy but slippery and a real 4 seater - my T5 with 220 hp achieves ~7 sec 0-60 and ~150 top speed - this is the focus ST2 engine, easily chips to 250-300 bhp apparently. Cruising at 60mph I have seen 40mpg but high 30's is more feasible. I have black leather but no squeaks anywhere. Car cost me 2.5k a few years ago, love it. Front seats are the most comfortable I have ever experienced.

Can you do a video about reliability ratings for modern hot hatches (e.g. MQB (s3/R/Cupra) , m135i, A45, focus, meganeRS etc. ). You can't predict the reliability of new cars as only time will tell so you could review the cars that are just about to run out of warranty or already have. People who want to have only 1 car for having fun and as a daily will look out for these cars but may be skeptical due to reliability issues.

I Bought a 2003 z4 recently for £1400. 230bhp, rear drive convertible, and not even a mention in the top ten? Ok, I admit I got a bargain but I've seen a few at under 2 grand especially less powerful versions like the 4cyl z3 you mentioned, but z4s aren't really any more money than the now semi classic z3. 6cyl Engines are good other than fragile plastic cooling parts, they don't seem prone to rust and i think its still quite a fresh looking design. Also worth a mention there are sub 2k mx5 mk3's around although I looked at 2006 and 07 cars that were both badly rotten underneath. Enjoyed the list though, we all love a top ten.

Not a convertible fan, although taking the roof off was useful when I went drifting in an MX-5 and my massive head literally couldn't fit in the car with the lid on. I was thinking "the Z3 doesn't look that pretty" and then a PT Cruiser goes past- all things are relative...(controversially?) the NB is my favourite MX-5 for looks, but I think that might be because I passed my test just as the NB went out of production so it was the shiny new one when I was a teenager.
