My sister is looking for a blue convertible with 4 seats for around 25k.

 

She is looking at BMW right now.

 

I can't convince her that Mustangs or Camaros are the answer.  She is too....  snobby for those.

 

Whatchu got that I am not thinking of...

I can only think of:

Bmw 3 series verts....

I have a coworker who has a Mercedes e350 convertible and loves it. A quick search found a few in her price range.

In reply to johndej :

Late Volvo C70 comes to mind.


 

Otherwise BMW 3/4 series, M-B C/E-class, Audi A5...

Maybe Buick Cascada or Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet as dark horse candidates?

You can't fit real humans in the back of a rear-engined Porsche convertible...

You never mentioned if it had to be new. 25k gets you a pretty good Cadillac.

MINI Cooper F57 S or JCW. And the F series cars are generally regarded as reliable, too (though I'm still partial to the R series)

Yep, my Mercedes fits all those criteria.  Otherwise, maybe the 650i 'vert, though not sure how big the back seat is.  Mine is bigger.  :)

Audi A3 or A4 convertible. If you look hard maybe a tiptronic 911, but are those really for seaters? Keeping the German run VW Eos

Buick Cascada. Only thought of it because I saw one once and thought, "Huh, that's a nice blue color."


 

I'm sure not as sporty as a Bimmer, but probably comfy and not terrible. Maybe more reliable?
