 Even with the smaller 1.9 litre engine
this car is an incredibly fun little
car.  I don't mind the manual top at all
it takes 15 seconds to put it up or down
at the maximum and it's really easy to
do.  The optional subwoofer is a must -
otherwise you just can't hear music with
the top down.  My complaints are that
the seats move around a bit and one got
jammed after a small piece of plastic
got caught in the rail.  BMW removed the
plastic, then told
me that I shouldn't move the seats
completely to the front, back, top, or
bottom as there are known problems with
them.  Also, the center console
cupholder and storage feels cheap. 
Other than that, I love this car.
