Great

	This really is the perfect roadster
	It’s so much fun to drive, your face will ache from smiling
	The running costs are pleasingly low

Gripes

	You need a heavy right foot to get it going
	The exhaust note doesn’t sound very sexy
	If you want lots of accessories, you have to pay extra

Drive

Driving it is so much fun, you’ll never want to walk anywhere ever again

Reliability

Service it regularly and it’ll last almost as long as Stonehenge

Inside

Even if you have supermodel-length legs, you’ll fit neatly behind the wheel

Space

The perfect getaway for you and your beau: it’s strictly for two

Safety

You get twin front and side airbags, plus an immobiliser and an alarm

Standards and extras

Basic cars are bare, but upgrade and you get leather seats and high-tech driver aids
