Default Drove two today!

Unfortunately I got a chance to drive them because neither top will go down.Very nice drive I think I like it better than the coupe. Hopefully not as many small issues.

I drove a graphite one today. Almost perfect...Except for how the top operates (IMO).
The top takes well over 20secs to do all the things it has to do.
BUT first, to start the process, you have to turn the latch (only one) and PUSH (real hard) to get the front of the top to pop up about 3-4 inches...This feels like you are breaking the thing. And to finish retracting, you have to PULL (again, real hard) to get it to latch. I think this may be a problem for some people. The wind noise is very low and the lack of cowl/hood shake is fantastic. The car looks nice with the top up too. I am impressed. At MSRP of $40k, reasonable ??.

The one I drove for a weekend had no issues un-locking the top or pulling it back into position. Could have been an issue with that one?

: Push button on handle
: Pull Down
: Twist
: Pops up on its own with little to no effort
: Hold down button in center and watch it transform.

20 seconds is all it took, but I did it many times waiting at a light. I loved the looks I got
