    Fun in the dun

    Fun to drive. Handles the road with lots of power and great gas mileage. Trunk space is ok, but you have to be a good packer Good interior room for a small convertible .

    Best loved car I've reviewed.

    REALLY, really love this beauty. Great for the price-I've owned a lot of convertibles. I'd love one in every color. If I had the money I'd buy all my relatives one.

    Fun, great handling car

    Great car, good performance handling and comfort. Don?t like run-flats or inability to add options Don?t like premium fuel requirement (60 to 80 cents higher in Alabama)
