followed a lass back from Durham in one of these once, she started sliding on a bend and hit the metal barrier in it and its just crumbled to nout. both drivers side wheels went under the car.
dont know the safety rating on them but didn't look very strong

Then get a Tigra or any other amount of convertible cars that wont cost £££ to run, be based on a car designed in the early 90s and won't rust to peices like most fords.

I can't believe the amount of rust on our KA - my corsa which did more miles and was only a year older was SPOTLESS
