This car is GREAT! It's very quick,
light, and it handles like a go-cart! The
only issues I've encountered is (with
age) little things start falling apart,
such as the sunroof no longer seals
properly so water gets inside during the
rainy season. I'm having some problems
with some of the gauges going nuts, and
problems with the locks and doors. Those
things aside this car is amazing to
drive!Apr 05, 2010
