What Car? says
For The Roadster has excellent fuel economy, looks unique, and is fun to drive
Against The semi-auto gearbox on early models is slow
Verdict
It's a fun car to own, but you'll lose out when you come to sell it
Go for… Brabus versions
Avoid… Left-hand-drive cars
- 1. Don't bother with left-hand drive models - they're a false economy
- 2. There have been leaks from the driver's door - look out for damp carpets
- 3. Check that the engine doesn't overheat when the car is at a standstill
- 4. Forget practicality - boot space is minimal
- 5. Two adults will fit in the car without feeling cramped
