Just what I was thinking.
Have these lost their rep as being a girly hairdressers car now?
They're a proper British sportscar, despite being Japanese. It just so happens that propper British sportscars are little two seater soft tops which weigh fuck all and have little engines in them, sounds a bit girly until you drive one

I love how people who drive fwd shopping trolleys are the ones who say they are gay.
Like how people said that about the Z3m. It had 300bhp was tiny and weighed a small amount (okay not light but still) with no traction control.
Only men drive cars that if you forget to hang on it could kill you. Not understeer you into a parked car at Tescos

They are great fun on small circuits, just horrendously slow in a straight line, not grunt at all. They do make a good noise as well though, and I still managed a good scrap with JR in the Astra at the ring.

i can't recommend the car more for such use.
i have had the roof down the past week and it is bringing back all the emotions of driving in a warm summer evenings, definately looking forward to the warmer months when i don't need a coat on in the car!!

i agree with antnee
if you have the balls get the top down when it "looks like it is about to rain" and have a go. you'll be surprised just how dry you stay. I went from Northampton home (Oxford) and part way it looked like it was gonna rain. sure enough it did, intermitent on the wipers i didnt feel a drop hit me, and looking around the interior neither me or gf coudl see drops landing, it soon got heavier and the wipers were running continually.....still we didnt get wet and only a few drops noticed around us
i don't put it down when it is raining, but i am happy to drive in the rain if the top is down.....only disadvantage is the interior of the roof gets wet!

Will be because of rain I imagine.
I drive everywhere with the roof down, only have it up if its raining. Heated seats keep me toasty.
