1. low road noise.....
2. with top down, it's very smooth (both airflow, and ride)
3.the only thing I don't like is the storage compartments on in the doors...
4. A V1 can be hard wired into the car....
5. The car is a blast....When I drive with the top down (100% of the time) it's truly amazing.....The sound the exhaust makes when you step on it...it's almost like an old vette....the power is second to none in it's class....I don't care what anyone says about the sl55....The Z8 is the best....No supercharger here.....The only other complaint I have about the car is the crap tires that come stock....Other than that all I can say is....BUY IT and you won't stop smiling, I promise...it's worth every penny...

PS...there is a downside to owning the car...you will become quite bothered after a while by all the people asking you about your car...It happens to me all the time on the road...People honk, give me thumbs up, at lights people ask a million questions...At first it was great, but It got very annoying.....

sorry for rambling...
