Driver and passenger airbags are standard but side bags aren’t even an option. Traction control is only fitted to some models. Four star Euro NCAP crash safety rating is very good for a roadster and the usual security features are also fitted. Fabric roofs will always invite the opportunist thief, so keep your valuables well hidden. The boot and petrol cap release levers are kept in a lockable compartment for added security when the roof it down.

There’s some useful storage space in the cabin area and a boot that is particularly big for a roadster. Lowering the roof is simplicity itself: just unlock two clips and throw it back. Tonneau cover requires rather more effort – there are too many clips to put in place. Roof reduces the storage space a little. Glovebox big enough for the owner’s handbook – and that’s about it.
