Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quite a nippy car, still has some "go" in it at higher speeds will carry on going. Revs very high, engine screams a little.
What's it like to park?
I struggle with parking at the best of times, so with a tiny back window I have to make use of the door mirrors more! Although parking with the roof down makes it very very easy! Will fit almost anywhere.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Was driving along A12 at night, car lost power, all lights went off and steering went heavy. Scary! Turned out it was the alternator. This was then replaced under the dealers warranty. Three weeks later the same happened again, replaced alternator, all seems OK now.
What's most practical about your car?
I wouldn't say it was practical.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated seats, full leather interior and soft top.
