And the results are quite stunning—within seconds you can find what you are looking for, either in full-text online or a “Find it @ Harvard” button that tells you exactly where in Harvard’s huge library system to look. Our one qualm is that this cross search is currently only keyword based; we hope as the site grows and develops the HUL will add a more dynamic search...

Then there's the question, which may arise on a weekend jaunt, of how to transport a couple grocery bags with the top down. Stowing the soft top is a snap: just press a button, unlatch a hook and it folds into the trunk with minimal effort.
