    5 out of 5 5.0

    Not a peep. Just as well, the dealer is a 'mare.

    Feel a bit of an arse driving it roof down, but didn't in my last one which was, er, dog-eared.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Harsh ride on 17" inch summer wheels, far more supple on winter 16""s. Seats are very basic feeling, but are completely electric.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    No alarm on this Italian model. How is this possible?

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Dealer has more customers than cars, and it shows in the service
