GF has decided she wants one so we are going to look at a few, is there any common faults or problems to look for?
Any advice other than the usual to look for when buying?

She wouldnt have anything other than a manual so that isnt a problem.

It will be plenty quick enough for her, shes more bothered about having a convertable
