The car is great for what it is. An inexpensive , fun to drive , no frills roadster. Handles well , shifts nicely, peppy but not super powerful by any means. Quite a bit of road noise and a bit of a rough ride which is expected of most convertible sports cars. No power seats or gps in this model. Just start it up and go and smile around the curves.Apr 05, 2024
