I love my car!!! When i retract the convertible hardtop, it never stops to amaze me with its superior German engineering. Its a thrill, almost orgasmic, and to this day, passerby's stop and watch in amazement. I don't blame them, it still amazes me!!! I have never loved a car so much... From my first convertible 20 yrs ago a Fiat 124 Sport Spyder, to the overlooked Chrysler TC by Mazerati... This is by far the best convertible, and roadster i've ever owned.

A girls car i have been told. But, since I am a female that statement does not bother me. I have had my car for about 2 years. I drive it as a weekend vehicle. I love the color and how it drives. the engine runs very smooth, no complaints. I am meticulous about it. I do not think I will ever get rid of it. It is a car that i can see having for years.

The car had no problems upon delivery. I had only one minimal repair (a defective door contact for the interior light) after 24 000 miles of driving. Oil consumption was minimal. Acceleration is tremendous, the car handles very competently and the brakes are outstanding. The Xenon- lights are definitely worth the money. All this makes the car a lot of fun to drive, in particular in the summer. I have to use the car in the winter as well and I was surprised that it is drivable in snow as long as you treat the accelerator like a raw egg. I used Bridgestone Blizzak LM 22 tyres on AMG rims (tirerack.com) for the winter.

This car is an eye catching machine. It turns heads with the top up or down. I am really impressed with the performance and the looks of the car. It is also comfortable to drive, even on long trips.

This car is especially fun to drive, even at slow speeds. With exceptional handling, acceleration cornering, the envious stares I get from other drivers are just icing on the cake. I love the automatic fold-and-stow hardtop, and the way the car feels when I'm in it. I also love the sound of the exhaust when I'm accelerating hard, especially when compared to my previous 4 cylinder turbo MazdaSpeed Protege. This is a fun and prestigious car to drive and own. I'm glad I found it.
