Dynamically they are quite poor, this is why they were slated so badly when they were launched. If you want a rag top that's fun to drive then look at the S2000 or the MX5, depending on your budget.

The S2000 definitely, but the MX5 only if you can afford the hairdressing course as well !!

They are fairly fugly unless your talking Z3M hardtop which I have a soft spot for. Failing that mx5 or s2000...z4 if the budget stretches that far.
