Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Brilliant handling and great fun to drive. Road noise at speeds over 80 are loud. Good acceleration and not bad up hills.
What's it like to park?
A breeze. It takes a few drives to get used to the visibility, but once you know where the blind spots are its easy peasy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing's gone wrong with it, but the reviews that describe wind turbulence when the roof is down are accurate. The central heating vents are fixed so when you have the roof down on a cold day, you can warm up every part of you with heated seats and hot air, except the arm in the middle of the car.
What's most practical about your car?
Considering its a convertible, the boot is HUGE. Also I have a Ridgeback dog and she sits very comfortably in the passenger foot well.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The heated seats on a cold day- just brilliant. The roof mechanism is also very speedy.
