Safety feature ? please explain further, I'm intrigued. Does it stop the head gasket failing ?

Some good pointers there peeps! 
Can we just confirm............... is it just the 5dr model that suffers from the cracked chassis/loose nut?
I dont think we have any 3dr models............YET

ffs call yourself an engineer
On the principle of 5dr and 3dr have same wheel base length, same moncoque floor plan, different roof.
That thing that attaches the front to the back of the car (THE ROOF) doesnt just keep your head dry in the rain, but also determins flex on the whole chassis.
On the principle that Coupes have more torsional stiffness than convertables.
On the principle that 3dr has integral roll bar in the roof, 5dr does not
