Awesome Cars

There is a reason I keep coming back to these gems. I'm about to purchase my 4th one. I've owned a GS for 10 years and 2 GTs for 7 years. One being a Spyder which I always said was the best car I ever owned. Perfectly balanced, fast, great looks, beatiful paint colors. A blast to drive. The interior lighting and the 650 watt Rockford Fosgate are AMAZING. Everything feels right about the car. And the cost of ownership is great, just basic maintenance. I regretted getting rid of them all (traded 2 for a Vette). After 2 years, I"m going back. Found a Spyder GT in Rave Red and it will arrive soon. I can't wait to drive this gem of a car again!

Budget Sports Car

I love this car. Third vehicle I've owned, & by far my favorite so far. I've had no mechanical issues besides a gauge constantly telling me air pressure is low in my tire when it's not. Acceleration is sluggish. Low Horsepower is to blame for that. It takes forever to get it going, but handling is good. I love the look of it & people ask me about it all the time. Interior looks nice imo, but some materials are cheap.. but hey it's a bishi !

This is a great sports car for the money.

Very fast with the V6. Runs very smoothly. A perfect car with the top down. Using the auto shift really makes the car fun to drive. Great sounding car.

My daily driver now

I just bought a GS convertible. Looks sleek. So far so good, just surprised being a Japanese car. It doesn't have Bluetooth, outside temperature or even a better stereo. No adult will fit in the backseat. Really made for 2.
