Review
Great fun car. Power, handling, brakes are excellent. Suspension is stiff but this is what you get with a car that is glued to the road. Great combination of straight-ahead speed and cornering capabilities. When applying the brakes, watch out for cars coming from behind you; no way they can slow as rapidly as you can. Exhaust sound is cool - reminds me of an Austin Healy 3000! You have to 50 years old to remember that car. Only problem is that on the interstate I can't tell if I'm going 70 or 90 mph without looking constantly at the speedometer. Too many speeding tickets verify this comment. By the way, 70 to 90 acceleration is way good!
Favorite Features
Acceleration, braking ability, cornering, mileage, exhaust sound, and looks I get are my favorite features, ranked in order of preference.
Suggested Improvements
Better seat comfort. My right leg can't stretch out and sometimes I get a hamstring cramp in that leg. Everything else is great.

Review
Great car. Only problem was motor on window failed at 18 months. Dealer fixed it under warranty. Love the convertible, sounds good w/ good acceleration. Easy to damage or scrape front end on curbs, etc. due to low front end. (Part of the appeal of this car, but something to be aware of). Aluminum hood can be damage easily just by leaning on it, or in my case damaged by hail. I understand it saves weight, but again, something to be aware of.
Favorite Features
Look of the convertible. Exhaust sounds great. Fun to drive. For a convertible, very little wind noise.
Suggested Improvements
Sound system is horrible for a car in this price range. Speakers are cheap and should be replaced. Driver's leather seat starting to show some signs of wear after 20K miles, despite using cleaner and conditioner.

This car has been a great, fun car. It is superb with its handling and the performance is also above average. It is also quite an attention grabber. The whole package makes it a great car to own.

Review
This car is a blast to drive. The interior is stylish, but some areas are awkward. The cup holders are located too far back on the center console to reach and occasionally my elbow will turn on the heated seat option. The interior "plastics" are not impressive, but the ride and exterior design more than make up for it. Engine sounds great. Wicked blind spot takes some getting used to. Bose stereo sounds excellent, and the seats are very comfortable. Great sports car for the money.
Favorite Features
Sound of the engine, Bose, headlights, leather bucket seats
Suggested Improvements
upgrade some of the plastic interior pieces (i.e. knob to adjust seat, sunglasses holder feels like it could break very easily)

This is a wonderful convertible. Lots of power and handles like a dream. The one drawback is interior room. If you're a big/tall boy you may feel cramped.
Favorite Features
Hide away top and the computerized readouts on the top of the dash so you don't have to look down to see your speed on the main dashboard.
Suggested Improvements
A bit more leg room would be nice.
