Although I run a high spec cabriolet with decent power, I would most certainly admit that its not a nice car to own or drive. I would say the same for my mates focus rs powered cabriolet... If you want a nice motor at the end, I would suggest that you do not do this
If someone asked me what I consider to be the best spec for a cabriolet, I would have to say 1.6 cvh, with a ported head and cam running alternative management and a front mounted inter cooler... it produces a great, fun car with class performance.
