Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
After a couple of months I had a problem with the alternator but this was covered under warranty and replaced by the dealer. They even collected the car from my house and returned it fully valeted looking like new. Excellent service.
What's most practical about your car?
When the folding roof is down you can still get a decent amount of luggage in the boot. You soon get used placing bags in a certain order and their is a warning message on the dash board that stops the roof operating if something is in the way so there is no possibility of the roof closing and squashing anything in the boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The reason I wanted this car is for the folding roof when the sun shines and I bought myself a wind deflector which just drops in neatly behind the front seats. The deflector does it's job well and if you drop your seat low you hardly feel any draft.
