Oldie Now But Forever A Goodie

I wish I can clone my car into a new 2018 version with all the bells and whistles plus no miles. This car has been fantastic to me and it continues to impress. One of the Best Buy's of my life. Three different individuals bought the same car after seeing mine.

Great performance and very reliable.

This car looks sleek and small but accommodates taller passengers comfortably. The V8 has great power and a smooth ride. Very satisfied with this car even 13 years later.

Smooth and powerful

Great used buy with low miles. Runs like a dream tons of power. Engine is ticking but I hear it's common, hopefully some 10w60 will change that. Love the car. Handling refined. Convertible tops the cake. I know maintenence will get pricey but it just might be worth it.

The perfect car!

This is a wonderful car that gets a lot of attention and praise. I bought this car brand-new in 2004. It was meant to be my retirement car, but I still haven't retired yet. LOL!

Shocked by the Quality, Comfort and Performance

My wife and I went to a car lot looking to see a sports car convertible. (Honda 2000) This car caught our eye and we took it for a test drive. We were blown away by the quality, subtle looks, power handling and comfort. I'd say shocked is more accurate. I have extensive experience with Japanese cars and thought they had all the bases covered. Well perhaps not. This car is a classy somewhat understated performance touring car that will continue to impress you long after the so called initial thrill is gone. We just drove ours for 4000 miles in 9 days from Ontario Canada to the Florida Keys and i can say without hesitation this is the most fun I've had on 4 wheels! Great ride! Ours has the AMG package, navi, multi disc changer etc. Quite a ride.
