Fin Tastic car in every way. The only reason I don’t give it five stars is a lot of wind noise even with top up in the c- pillars at highway speeds. So much so that I wore my noise canceling earbuds. with that said, it is still a fantastic car that brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.May 27, 2024
