"Had one for about 3 years, just recently slid on the ice and crashed. Hit pretty hard ended up bending the frame. Going to miss it, I would buy a new one if I could."

"A fun car to drive especially with the top down. Great motor which is smooth and quiet. It has a lot of "get up and go." Quick and smooth acceleration. Others constantly say to me, "nice looking car.""

Pros: "Mechanically near perfect, great fun to drive"

Cons: "Interior did not stand up to intense sun"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"Bought it new capitalized out good value for my money. Turning radius not wonderful for a sport car. Loves to zoom on the highway sound system rocks! Interior trim got "crackly" looking under intense sun, cloth seats faded pretty quickly in Gulf Shores sun top is always down. I would have thought the interior would be better planned to withstand sun after all it IS a convertible. Mechanically it is terrific. Cruise control is a boon when highway driving. Interior notwithstanding given the mechanics and power this may very well be the best car I have ever had."
