Great

* Stylish looking convertible, inside and out
* Room for four grown-ups to travel comfortably
* Generously equipped with parking sensors and cruise control standard

Gripes

* Can't match Audi or BMW in the 'fun-to-drive' stakes
* Or in the quality of the interior
* Not a lot of boot space left once the roof's off
DriveDrive rating - 3 out of 5 stars
It's not a sporty mover, with rather soggy handling and jittery ride, but engines are strong and quiet
 ReliabilityReliability rating - 3 out of 5 stars
We'd expect no problems from the engines, but build quality isn't a match for Audi or BMW
InsideInside rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Driver is cocooned in stylish comfort
 SpaceSpace rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Excellent rear access makes this a genuine four-seater, but roof down, they'd better travel light
SafetySafety rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Six airbags and active whiplash counteracting headrests are standard. Cloth roofs can't match metal for security
Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Climate and cruise control, parking sensors and alloy wheels are standard, upgrade for stability control or sportier bodykit
