I have this car for 6 years. First one was a thirsty 2.4 petrol and now a D3 full of torque. Lovely car but be aware that if you have a problem with the roof it might cost you over £1000 to fix

No. You cannot fold the back seats down.There is a ski tunnel for long items (with waterproof bag) that allows skis in the trunk to extend into the middle of the passenger compartment. Items in the trunk are 100% immune from broken windows theft as you cannot access the trunk from the passenger compartment,
I believe you can use the boot with the roof down. You press a button and the folded part moves up out of the way slightly allowing you access to an area beneath it. I think there's room enough for a carry-on case.
@lukemallory got it absolutely correct there is I’ve owned one for years I love it , ofc I used a tune to unlock the full power of this car no other modifications and it rips , 0-60 in 3 sec , quarter mile in just under 10 and a lot of shocked faces from bmw , Mercedes , Audi owners as I leave them in my dust
@@jjjurgensen454 But any problems with the roof? Thinking of getting one. Anything to look out for? 0-60 in 3 seconds sounds? Are you running 700 bhp?!
Great review, initially filmed by a pigeon in a tree.
Than later filmed by an ant on the floor board.

Have you ever had a problem with the roof?

When was this filmed 2007 ?
Can’t believe he didn’t mention the roll bars.
Nice review, however I prefer first generation C70
Cany you fold the backseats down?
Anything can be done if you try hard enough, the question is if they can be folded back up.

Very beautiful
Wish the trunk was functional with the roof down, kinda defeats the purpose if you actually want to go anywhere top down.
