Great to have a hardtop convertible

Good car. Mpg not great but I don't do high mileage. 42-45 on long journeys. About 33 otherwise. Hardtop is great and glad of the parking sensors as rear visibility very restricted. Rubber seals need lubricant as they squeak - I use baby oil! If you have any slight leaks try wiping the seals clean and lubricate. Rev slightly when putting the roof up or down if stationery, otherwise it can become stuck sometimes. Can fit passengers in back and enough leg room for longer journeys, just the getting in and out hard unless the roof is down!
Good car if you want a convertible with space for passengers.
If the roof is down and you need access to the boot you can press a button to raise and lower it again.
