I have never felt I needed any more buttons with one exception. I would prefer if it had air conditiong - but that's it that all.
Don't you just lower the roof?

There lies the problem as I live in Spain where the current temperature is 32c. It would be little short of dangerous to try to drive any distance (bald head not helping).
In honesty even with the a/c the interior would be unbearable in the summer (you see very few convertible cars in Spain). It's contrary to some people opinions but the UK is probably the idea country for a convertible like the MX5 - lovely spring days with the powerful heater on etc.
ps We were in Turin at the weekend and an exhibition was on in this car crazy city. We met the great man himself T. Matano the brains behind the MX5 and much of the ethos of the company. I would not be surprised if he was behind this, for me, welcome improvement.
