Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Dreadful, car had lots of faults despite having allegedly been through their workshops.

Stunning to drive with hood up or down. Loads of smooth power, car is so quiet, sometimes you think it has cut out.

Easy, with parking sensors front and rear.

Apart from the trim falts when I bought it, it has had a new starter motor and the crankshaft sensor failed. Both were fixed under warranty, but dealer generally unhelpful.

Four seater convertable, although rear seat passengers get a fair bit off wind buffeting.

Electric hood.
