Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very firm and has decent levels of grip. A but bumpy and crashy on uneven road. The engine is smooth and pwerful but i think a tad gutless when you want to really push it

Easy to park. Small and good power assisted steering

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No problems at all. Has been fantastically reliable. Being a convertible you are obviously going to get some sqeaks and rattles
What's most practical about your car?
Not really practical at all. Fine for a weekend away, but dont pack much. The boot is rather small.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Make sure you have air con. It gets VERY hot in summer especially if you have a black interior. I think that sports seats are a must if you DRIVE your car
