Unhappy Want trouble, then buy this!

Anyone who knows how a sedan and convertible are designed and built (the right way) would not even consider buying this.

I am particularly fond of this line:

• Despite the customization, the car is solid. No noticeable structural issues affect the handling. The car cruises.

Unless the frame has been seriously reinforced, then cutting the roof of of a sedan will lead to a car which is very weak and probably dangerous to drive. Take this one over a railroad crossing and see how solid it is. I've owned convertibles that were designed as convertibles and were still not rigid. The best convertible I have ever driven is the MB SL which was designed and built to be a roadster and you cannot tell when driving it that it is anything less than solid.

This one, in short, is probably no more than a parts car now.
