Nice article, Mr. Martin appears to give it a . It does sound like it might need the old chassis x-brace fix.

I wonder how long that will take to happen. Possibly not long.

I am selling my 2006 convertible when it has six months left on warranty so that the buyer can have six months to check on any issues and have them covered.

I then will get the new convertible and drive it for 3.5 years. Make sense?

Interesting the reviewer said that rear visibility sucked. The pop-up roll bar was supposed to improve that. He should get in mine.

Strange...I read the review (before reading this thread) and thought it was pretty lackluster. He said all the right things, but with a lot of qualifiers and not a lot of superlatives. I guess OP got it right: "NYT...likes the Cabrio", not loves.
