A four-star Euro NCAP rating, strong safety cell, ABS, twin front airbags and stability control are standard. You also need to have your foot on the brake to engage reverse and the keys can only be removed when the car is in neutral – two quirky built-in safety features. All cars have an immobiliser and central locking; alarm is optional.

There’s even less luggage space in the cabriolet than there is in the coupe – the roof mechanism eats into luggage space. An impressive trick is that the roof can be lowered by pressing a button on the keyfob, as you walk towards the car. It’s a feature that’s normally reserved for Porsche buyers. The roof bars are removable and can be stored in a special compartment in the tailgate when they’re not being used.
