    "The convertible roof is fully automatic — an unusual feature in such a small car — and can be opened partially to act as a sunroof whilst the car is driving at speed. "

    yep they all have the 2 stage electric roof and all come with the roof-down-ometer and watch this vid on how to use the roof, it's pretty cool :cool:

    if you note the vid gives it in fahrenheit ;) convert that to celsius and yes you cant use the roof when the temperature is below -12C :p
    so you are fine to use the roof in this country

    If you can afford the extra, get an S. You won't regret it :D

    I'd go for a slightly older car even to get the better one. There's a world of difference between the two.
