Driving it

Excellent - loved it. Great short gear lever, clutch not too heavy, best driving car I have ever had.

You can't see the back of it at all, so suggest fitting parking sensors if you want to avoid bumps.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No seat height adjustment on early models like mine. Roof could get a little stuck if not used for a while. Expensive tyres.
What's most practical about your car?
Boot is fine for a small sports car. Useful cupholders in the door.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
BOSE stereo with eh6 CD changer was good. Wouldn't be without the folding hardtop - miles better than a soft-top imo.
