    The operation of the softtop is impressive.
    It's very fast--just 5 to 6 seconds--and it's fully automatic. There's nothing to press or latch, so in theory it could be operated remotely, or maybe even in conjunction with the rain-sensing wipers?

    'Wild Blue' checks out the soft top operation

    But when the top is up there's a gap either side between the top and the bodywork

    It's a bit lumpy
    And the dust/fluff gathers on the leading edge
