Being a convertible owner myself I've gotta say

Simply brilliant and beautiful........

Very nice and elegant

sexy roof motion, but it seems to take a fairly long time from fully up, to fully down. With roof down, the process of putting anything in the boot seemed pretty damn flimsy and complicated. the only other negative is that with so many moving parts in the roof, im betting there are gonna be alot of faults in the short term.
Otherwise, sexy as a whole (cant avoid the weird bum with convertible hard tops it seems) and I hope they put the Turbo 2.0L into it!

Hey guys, you are forgetting, this is with the hood down,

sure with the hood up the boot would fit many clubs

I like it. Here's a 'hotted up' version I did a couple of months ago. Lowered it, large diameter rims, red brake callipers, some subtle changes here and there and the most obvious, the colour change. That's how i'd have mine anyway.

Not sayin' I don't like it . . . still got to see it in the flesh to make the final decision . . . however, I don't go much on the metal roof image. That's just not a convertible! You want a metal roof and still let in the light . . . get a sunroof.
I know they are all heading the same way, but I still prefer my fabric roof (even with it's short-comings).

Having said all that . . . I'm looking forward to checking it out, along with the new VW Eos when it arrives. Now that's one nice looking cabrio . . . just a shame about the metal roof!

[MatsHolden]

hmm I prefer the hard top convertables.

Mat that looks awesome!
Good stuff
I'd get one if they had that colour!

[Wraith]

Mat, that's an awesome effort you've done there - well done, love the colour.

I'm with Imay, ie: got a thing for soft top convertibles, but if I can afford it and if it comes to Aust in 2.0ltr turbo, I'll buy one...........

I'll keep my current TS turbo convertible as well, as they look like 2 totally different cars.

BTW lack of boot space when the top is down - who cares, just ask any convertible owner out there if boot volume makes any difference in the decision to buy a convertible........
