That's OK. She must mean you're cool! On the minus side thought, although I've only driven the automatic I'd say that on acceleration it couldn't pull you out of bed (mind you we've only the 2 ltr version here), and it's rather heavy on petrol for my liking (23 mpg urban - 29 motorway - but I guess that's "super economy" for an American :-). Going up hill it's the first car I've had where the fuel guage goes down more quickly than the speedo goes up!

Nice rigid, well-built ride but I wouldn't be sure once they lop the top off, even with the cabriolet roll bar.
