Living with it
Reliability
The roof wouldn't go up or down using the roof-switch so i did it manually for the time i had the car. The engine blew up and was replaced for a grand. Tyres pricey.
Image
Nice looking car, stylish alloy wheels.
Comfort
Nice leather interior. Dash is functional and stylish. Suffers from buffeting and high wind noise with the roof up and down.
