We've had no problem with ours but they are not idiot-proof! Follow the instructions exactly else you can expect problems.
Is there a limit of how many times a day u can drop the roof? i now thats stupid!!
No, but I make sure I always have the engine running when operating the roof. That way you don't flatten your battery!
is there any majour bad points about them??
The 2 litre ones seem to have manifold and hydraulic tappet issues. The 1.6 ones seem to have fewer problems. Make sure everything works perfectly before you buy, and take a long test drive.
Most importantly which are the cheapes on insuranec??...........
The 1.6 models.
and last but not least isit a girls car???
Yes, but like me, don't let it bother you if you like them.

People that have had problems with the roof have usually tinkered with it or not operated it properly along the way.
I would say when operating the roof to give it respect, operate exactly as instructed and DONT turn the car off when its opening or closing... keep the engine running.
I had an 04 1.6 for two years and worked great. All cars have problems don't forget
