I love Maestros, everyone says they're shit, but they're great. However, Escort cabriolets..
Rover 200 cabriolets were either featured terrific torsional strength or none. No idea why.

I was working for Vauxhall when the Cascada came out and by fluke I got a very early rental example when I was in the south of France. They were terrific cars. My formal test drive for the firm was around Cramlington and didn't have quite the same effect, but I rated them better than an A4 cabriolet.
