What a great car. No trouble since I bought it. I love this car so much I can't bring myself to trade it in on a more practical vehicle. It is the only car we own.

I choose this car over Audi TT, Z3, and MR2. Love the handling, design, size, and interior more than any other car. What a dream to drive. I have never had more fun driving. I love my car and would recommend over any of the above car. Far more superior. Having the time of my life.

1 1/2 Years later...still good

I bought this car in the summer of 2008. It had 140,000 miles...new top w/glass back window. I had water pump and timing belt replaced right when I bought it. Not that it necessarily needed it, but I just wanted to get it done in case. The "check engine light" came on not long after I had it. Replaced Cat converter with a cheap one. Light came on again later. Replaced Cat w/ factory one..no problems, but it wasn't cheap (1K). Other than that, this car has been great...Knock on wood...had a little problem w/power windows but was a very minor fix. I really like this car, even though I get ribbed by my friends for driving a "chick car"...but I don't care. Now has 150,000 miles on it.

This car is my first new car and I've not for one minute regretted the purchase. It's a very good balance of speed, comfort, looks, price, and fun. I've even had it on a 2000+ mile trip, which included driving in rain and snow. It handles like a dream and doesn't overwhelm with muscle. It's been very reliable and comfortable.

Have driven this car daily for almost 7 years. Only repairs ever needed were the tires and the battery, until just 6 months ago, when the brake pads were replaced. The car still drives like it did when it was new. This is the best engineered, and most reliable car I have ever owned. I just had it repainted, because I plan to keep it for many more years.
