Prices start at £175,000 – a £10k lift from the coupe. As tested, the one in our images was a shade over £240,000. That's a £15,000 paint job you're looking at. Carbon ceramic brakes ought to be standard in our opinion – nope, a £10k extra. The B&O hi-fi is almost £7,000 and you can add a semi-detached house's worth of carbon fibre if you're not careful.
The Roadster isn't short of rivals. AMG SL, Roma Spider, Maserati GranCabrio, Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet… there's a huge amount of talent in the circa-£200k super-sports drop-top arena.

Car Deal of the Day: a cut-price Mazda MX-5 to soak up the summer sun in

Arguably the best sports car money can buy Engaging handling; old-fashioned thrills Just £296.57 a month The UK is currently basking in its fourth heatwave of the year, so what better way to enjoy this than with a drop-top? The Mazda MX-5 is more than just a drop-top, though, because it's the best-value sports car on sale in Britain, and a multiple Auto Express New Car Awards winner. You can bag the keys to one of the automotive world's greats for less than £300 right now – but you'd better hurry because deals like this won't hang around for long. Advertisement - Article continues below Carwow Leasey is offering the terrific MX-5 Roadster for just £296.57 a month right now. This four-year deal requires a £3,853.84 initial payment, while you can enjoy 6,000 miles of top-down motoring a year. This deal is for the entry-level 1.5-litre Prime-Lime – but, remember, Mazda doesn't make a bad MX-5, and to many enthusiasts the basic package is the best. It still comes with 16-inch black-painted alloys, cruise control and sat-nav, along with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Because this is the soft-top Roadster and not the hard-top RF (Retractable Fastback), the switch from top-up to top-down motoring requires just a flick of your wrist. Then you can hear the rorty exhaust note from that fizzy little 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine. With 130bhp and just a 1,106kg kerbweight to lug around, performance is brisk, with 0-62mph taking 8.3 seconds. But the MX-5 isn't really about speed – it's a wonderfully involving driving experience, with a rifle-bolt-sharp six-speed direct-action gearbox, and light, engaging steering. We can't think of many cheaper ways to get good old-fashioned summer thrills for such a low price. The Car Deal of the Day selections we make are taken from our own Auto Express Buy A Car deals service, which includes the best current offers from car dealers and leasing companies around the UK. Terms and conditions apply, while prices and offers are subject to change and limited availability. If this deal expires, you can find more top Mazda MX-5 leasing offers from leading providers on our Mazda MX-5 page.

'Strong' 100ft hose pipe hailed the 'best ever' by shoppers in limited time deal

This hose pipe is perfect for gardening, washing or cleaning your outdoor area this summer. Even though we are nearing the end of the summer months, many of us want to make sure our gardens are in tip top condition as the sunny season draws to a close. Whether it be watering the flowers and grass, cleaning the patio or giving the car a much needed wash, a garden hose is a must-have piece of equipment to have at your disposal. However, this can't just be any old hose pipe as they can end up being more hassle than they are worth as they develop kinks and get tangled up. In order to have an enjoyable gardening experience, it is recommended households should purchase an expandable hose instead. 4,300 ratings. Boasting a durable and leak-free design, this Yofidra garden hose can expand to 100ft (30m) under sufficient water pressure to provide an easy cleaning and then shrink back to 33ft when no longer in use. Due to its expandability, this hose won't develop any kinks, which allows it to last for longer. Yofidra 100ft Garden Hose Product Description This lightweight hose can also be used for a variety of different needs as it features a 10 pattern spray gun. Whether gardening or cleaning, simply rotate the bezel to choose which spray type you require and you will be on your way. For added convenience, the hose also comes with a hanger to provide simple storage. Additionally if shoppers run into problems with their hose, they won't need to worry as they will be given a 12-month warranty. The company also promises to solve any problems within 24 hours. For shoppers looking for a shorter hose, Amazon has dropped the price of the 50ft Flexi Hose Expandable Garden Hose down to £25.99 (£29.99). Featuring leak-resistant brass fittings, this hose can handle temperatures up to 45C without kinking, cracking or bursting. Alternatively, B&Q is selling the VonHaus Expandable Garden Hose 50ft for £24.99. Featuring 10 spray modes, this hose comes with a handy mount or storage bag to easily hide the hose away when it is no longer in use. Back to the Yofidra 100ft Garden Hose, it currently has a 4.2 star rating from Amazon shoppers, with over 1,000 people buying it in the last 30 days to give their gardens a bit of TLC. One happy shopper said: "Good quality connections, not plastic. Very light weight, even with the hose filled. Read the care instructions before using for longevity. Highly recommend. "Lots of settings for the hose head. Easy to store away. This is my third hose of this type and I can honestly say, the best one yet." Homewares deal of the week Looking to beat the heat as temperatures continue to rise? Then look no further than Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that has an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting." Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days. However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation. It's finished with four speed settings to choose from and an adjustable angle that can help direct the cool breeze where it is needed, unlike other models that can sometimes be stuck in one place. As for Dunelm's own mini desk fan, it has received an impressive 4.8 rating from impressed shoppers who say that, despite its size, it is "surprisingly powerful" and "a literal life-saver" during this kind of weather. One five-star review read: "Fantastic fan, surprisingly powerful, quiet, lasts for quite a long time when charged, very hard to find a decent small rechargeable fan but this is it, will be buying more!" Beat the heat with Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that costs just £12.50. With another five-star reviewer adding: "This is a very strong hose pipe and well worth the money. Wonderful and I can highly recommend it to gardeners." However, not everyone was left fully impressed, as one shopper said: "I was disappointed to find it didn't fit my existing fitting." While another noted: "The hose and fittings work just fine but the outer woven covering started to show fraying even after the first use. It catches on the concrete driveway and paths and it frays. It still does a good job though and I'm quite happy with it." Despite this, a fifth shopper praised: "Wow this is the best hose ever. I have purchased several of these types of hoses over the years, which were okay while they lasted. This one I love, it's easy to use, its brilliant, it's sturdier than my previous ones. "The on off switch is so much easier to use, the various settings are great you can adjust the flow of the water within each setting. The misting setting works wonderfully which it didn't on previous hoses. It's lightweight and has all the advantages of this type of hose, only 10 times improved. Absolutely love it."

Aldi's £2.99 Middle Aisle essential will leave your car sparkling without any smears – plus it smells lush

ALDI shoppers are racing to the Middle Aisle for a £2.99 car cleaning essential that leaves motors sparkling – with zero smears. The bargain buy doesn't just work wonders on windows and bodywork, it also smells amazing. This ready-to-use formula is a glovebox game-changer, helping you tackle dirt, bugs and road grime in seconds – with no smears in sight. PRODUCT DETAILS The Ride & Go Cherry Scented Screen Wash is just £2.99 for a massive 5L bottle, making it an absolute steal. And the best bit? It leaves behind a sweet cherry scent, so your windscreen's not the only thing getting a freshen up. Don't get caught with a filthy screen – stock up while it's still on shelves. Shoppers say the streak-free finish rivals big-name brands – but for a fraction of the price. The all-in-one liquid wash lifts dirt, dust and grime in seconds, leaving your car looking showroom-fresh without the elbow grease. And with its fresh, clean scent, it's not just your paintwork that gets a glow-up – your whole motor will smell lush too. All UK car dealerships will STOP selling 10,000s of iconic brand's used models impacted by lethal airbag flaw Whether you're prepping for a road trip or just want to impress on the school run, this £2.99 wonder is a glovebox must-have. And it's one of the cheapest screen washes on the market – with some retailers charging up to a tenner for similar products. Even Halfords and B&Q's versions come in at £7.49, making Aldi's deal an absolute bargain for drivers who want a clear view without the hefty price tag. MORE SPECIALBUYS Aldi shoppers can scoop cut-price household essentials, as well as beauty dupes for luxury brands, with the latest Specialbuys. A dual-zone air fryer from Tefal is priced at around £99.99, while a Ninja version of the gadget is £129.99. Aldi's high-speed blender with accessories is well-priced at £14.99. A similar gadget from Ninja would set you back almost £50. Elemis' pro-collagen marine oil is currently on sale on its website for a whopping £72, while Aldi's Lacura marine oil is just £3.99. The luxury oil aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with marine ingredients. And Aldi's version aims to do the same by using algae extract and golden seaweed. Aldi's Lacura Illuminate Setting Spray aims to lock your makeup in place for a "long-lasting airbrushed finish". It's an unmistakable take on Chatlotte Tilbury's airbrush flawless setting spray which will set you back around £32 on beauty website Cult Beauty. The supermarket has previously offered several Charlotte Tilbury dupes including eyeshadow palette, and flawless filter foundation and they are typically very popular. Aldi launches fresh Specialbuys every Thursday and Sunday. 2 When's the best time to shop at Aldi? WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy. For reduced items - when shops open Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick. A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates." That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens. Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool. For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools. New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals. For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time. Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
