Brilliant fun in good weather - don't risk your life in snow or ice - car too light and is 100% useless on snow/ice.
Performance
As above - great in good weather, useless on snow/ice.

Living with it
Reliability
Don't leave standing for more than 3 days! (battery/electric problems?) or ensure you're a member of RAC - you'll be needing them!!
Image
Looks great! Can't fault how it looks!
Comfort
Pretty good as far as convertibles go (apart from lack of luggage space - but if you will buy a sports car!)

Security and Service
Security
Great, BUT make sure you purchase a hearing aid as an accessory - you'll need it to hear the alarm!!
Service
So poor it's ridiculous - don't know how they get a good reputation - rude, unhelpful and useless at acknowledging/repairing faults!
