    Such a fun car to drive!

    Fast off the start, but don't expect great acceleration once over 40mph.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The only thing to go wrong on mine was the electrics when I hit a puddle the size of Wales and got everything soggy.

    Get both sunroofs open and it's nearly a soft top.
