This is a very solid vehicle. It has a nice ride and very low wind flow with the top down, thanks to excellent design and a helpful rear wind screen. A nice bonus is that you can take two extra riders in the back with you, either kids or small adults. Putting the top down is very simple. This has been a very reliable vehicle.

I am in the UK, driving a UK spec 1.8 litre model. Not the quickest off the mark, but by no means slow; it keeps up with the high powered rivals and more recent cars quite easily. The handling is excellent, and although I have heard numerous reports of problems with scuttle shake, I've not experienced this. Some high repair bills, but apart from the clutch failing, it hasn't ever broken down between standard services. Replacements as follows: clutch and flywheel at 80,000 miles, front suspension arms at 75,000 miles, brake discs and waterpump for coolant at 75,000 miles.

Fun car. Would prefer all-wheel drive
but the front wheel is fine for
a "summer" car. Low noise with the top
down, good sound system, excellent
mechanicals, very comfortable for
large driver. Could definitely use a
little more bhp but wonderful to
cruise New England in the summer.

I have had my car for 5 years, and it
has been so much fun. The best part is
having a car that you don't see every
day. The backseat is bigger than the
BMW, the car is heavier than a station
wagon and hugs the road.

This vehicle has extensive problems
with the electrical system throughout
its warranty period. The dealership
was consistently unable to difinitively
diagnose the problem. Since warranty
expired (about 1 1/2 years ago)there
has only been one episode... so perhaps
they finally did fix the source of the
ongoing problems.
Maintenance is expensive on this
vehicle as should be expected and it is
not easy to find a qualified mechanic
outside the dealership, especially one
that can accomodate my personal needs
for convenience.

Fun car when the top will go down (all
the way) & when it isn't in the shop.
