    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Probably that I'm gay, but who cares?

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Probably that it's a girl's car, but they all like a ride with the roof down!

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes, without question. It's a great solid economical car but I like the frivolity of the soft top.

    Uncertain, maybe another one of these if I can get a good deal.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Seat side bolsters broke up, necessitating multiple dealer visits. Still to be resolved.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Economy (50+mpg) and the fact that it's almost as quiet as a hardtop in dodgy weather, but lovely when the roof can be quickly dropped, even at low speeds.
