    When did you buy the car?

    May 2009

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    The car was advertised at £25000 and I got a £2500 discount for being a cash buyer. I also got the Rare Black and Cream leather combination, 19" Elipsoid Wheels blah blah blah. Looks like a Bentley Continental GT with that combo c when the Hood is Stowed.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Wanted a convertible for the Summer. Had an S2000 for the last 4 years for Summer and it was time for a bigger car. I loved the drive/performance of the S2000 but it lacked in size which made me think it was a bit girly. Plus I am 30 now so its time for a more distinguished convertible.

    What was the dealer like?

    Standard

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It was designed to look like a shark and when cruising it feels like your gliding in water. The run flat tyres give a harder drive but I like that as it adds to the sporty element. The V8 sounds amazing when you open throttle.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy - Parking Sensors :-)
