Good read, is the chassis as bad as he says?

He didn't say it was bad - any open car will flex more than its closed counterpart as they just are not as rigid when you cut a big chunk out

Even the 911 Cabrio is compromised compared to the coupe, but there's no shortage of buyers who will trade that last few percent of stiffness for the advantages a soft top brings

I've not read the PH review, but from the other reviews i've read, all the testers were expecting it to be a typical flexy wobbly convertible. Overall though, they comment on how the A500C is much better than most other convertibles due to the fact that it retains the B and C pillars, thus creating more structure to the car and less flex etc.
