Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very nimble. Super hard suspension can make it very skittish on bumpy roads and can be annoying if you're not in a "driving" mood. If you are in the mood it's a blast.
What's it like to park?
Very easy. They put radar on the convertibles as the rear visibilty is poor
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing. There are dash rattles that can be annoying but some of the trim is fairly cheap (too cheap for a 20k + car)
What's most practical about your car?
Parking, back seats to use as a boot (you can't get adults in them)
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
ipod connection (extra £150) & wind deflector (a must if you want to go any distance with the roof off)
