Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its not a sports car in performance but who wants to speed around everywhere when your cruising with the roof down. Surprisingly little body rattle for a convertible.
What's it like to park?
Piece of cake with front and rear sensors as standard.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, although it was wronly set up for time and distance service rather than the long time service. This was sorted with a 5 minute visit to the dealer.
What's most practical about your car?
The speed of the roof, 9 seconds up or down means that even with the merest hint of sunshine the roof is down before I have manoeuvered off the driveway.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Besides the roof, the DAB Radio / Bluetooth System.
