Check the roof doesn't leak when up.
Check there is no wind noise/whistle/rattles when driving with roof up.
Check roof goes up and down correctly.
Check the rear window is not cracked or split.

Get the owner to show you where the fuel door release button is.
Get the owner to show you how to open the top of the centre compartment.

Check that you can easily shift into all gears. Some noise on deceleration can be normal due to the "clutch buzz" issue, but is not harmful.

Be aware there is a rev-limit of 7000rpm when the engine is cold (below 3 bars on temp gauge).

Everything else, check as you would on any other car.
