I love the style compared to the later models due to the size. Later models are smaller. May 06, 2023

Exactly what I was looking for. Had a few minor flaws but considering the year of the car it was a great value and very satisfied.Aug 09, 2022

This is a real challenge, because I could make a case for this car as 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 stars. These are beautiful, well engineered, well executed cars. If they have been lovingly maintained, they are an exceptional choice as a used car value, ticking off many boxes like, comfort, strong dependable running gear, great bang for the buck, pieces of art on wheels. The engineering is complex and subject to wear, neglect, the environment and age. They are designed for new car buyers who get great warranty response when there is a problem. As a used car, expensive to repair and replace parts and systems. Difficult to diagnose the source of problems and most repairs required a renewal of an entire system rather than simple part replacement. The convertible top as an example, with a leaky cylinder (there are 10) is likely an indication that all cylinders need to be replaced, fluid renewed and sensors (the are 10 of those too). Just to diagnose the problem can be 2 hours shop time at $120 per hour. So, rating this car for perspective buyers is a challenge and probably better done on an individual basis, both for each car and each buyer. The good news is, there are many of these cars and they are highly regarded by buyers.May 09, 2022
