    Fun, sporty car with great handling

    Great handling, love the overall look and feel. I've had two and both started falling apart after 150,000 miles (harsh winters tho). Best if you can do your own maintenance. Great conversation starter, especially in purple.

    First Car

    This car has its ups and down.. Its up are that its a real head turner, sharp looking, and reliable. The only downs i could really think of was that it didn't have a lot of power and then back seat is unconfortable for the passengers. But otherwise, this is a very good first car!!!

    A Used Car Salesman's Dream

    This car has it all, including downfalls. A fast, sleek, practical car that can literally handle a full load, 4 decently sized people, in inclement conditions at high speed in style. Hey, for five grand it sure turns a lot of heads. And it's American? Sign me up. However, whoever wired this thing can go climb a tree. It really makes it seem alive sometimes, with loose battery terminals causing frustration from an inability to start. Other than that, maintain it and it's a great car
