Great for its age.

This is a great weekend car. Don't expect to go 0-60 in today's standard time though. For a 80s car it's fairly quick. Hugs corners great. You can feel the inertia at the center of the car as it is mid engine. It's got a small tank of 10.8, but with a 1.6l inline 4 it lasts me for two weeks. The early production model's door cards are quite bland compared to the post-redesign door cards. This car is NOT meant for a teenage first time driver who likes to drive fast and think a sport car is just cool and fast. This can be a dangerous car as snap oversteer is a thing that exists on these mid engine vehicles, but if you're experienced or a mature driver it shouldn't be as big of a problem. If you do buy this car take it out on a very rainy or wet day in a parking lot and let it kick out to get the feel and understanding of how it handles. It'll help a lot. I've had the car for a few months and get a lot of attention from it, especially from the older crowd who say they haven't seen these cars since the late 90s. So you definitely know its not too common to see.

Fun car to drive

This car is amazing! It corners like it is on rails. Is quick and nimble. Gas mileage is great (I have gotten up to 44 mpg) with average mileage at about 35 MPG.
