What's it like to drive?

Acceleration isn't blistering but quick enough, prefers hard acceleration can be prone to bunny hoping with soft accelerator use, corners very well for a convertible, huge blind spots over both shoulders when the roof is up can make it difficult at junctions.

What's it like to park?

Reverse parking sensors make it easy backwards although huge blind spots with the roof up. low seating position can make it difficult to judge where the end of the bonnet and front corners of the car are.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Bonet release handle fell off and often get an error when opening the electric hood which requires it to be closed again and retrying often resulting in giving up.

I ma alsways surprised how much can be fitted in what looks like a small boot.
