The folding
fabric roof slides back into a semi-messy pile above the trunk which means that storage space is only slightly less than in the hatchback (which is still rather small) although it
blocks the view directly behind you when down.
Raise the
roof and the thick, multilayer
fabric quiets the cabin considerably,
blocking the wind's, road's, and even a bit of the raucous V - 8's noise and allowing conversation at a civilized volume.
