    Simply the best. The ultimate car for the driving purist. The poise and throttle repsonse will make you smile every time.

    Will leave 95% of other cars standing up to 80mph. Opt for the performance exhaust! Sounds great!

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Good racing feel, which is basic for comfortability. Lets face it... It's not a family car! Who needs Comfort?

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    As secure as any convertible, most have alarms and immobiliser. Hardtop improves security. Get a tracker fitted too.
