Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Drives reasonably well hasn't got the handling of my old BMW coupe, but on long runs especially on the continent I don't think the comfort and ease of driving can be bettered.
What's it like to park?
This is the one area that I would fault, the restricted rear view took some getting used to, but I have rear park sensors which help.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Had minor fault with leather on front N/S seat which the dealer quickly dealt with replacing all seats to ensure leather match.
What's most practical about your car?
Its a fun car but can be used to carry four adults in comfort. Great security system which means you can leave roof down and put valuables in secure pockets.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
We bought the car for the convertible roof which so far has worked well every time, on a crisp cold day its good to have the roof off and the seat heaters on.
