Great with the top down, but the roof...

This car is a ton of fun to drive with the top down, and in bright red it is an attention getter! However, I too have had roof leakage problems, and the dealership is saying it isn't covered under the bumper to bumper exteneded warranty we purchased.

Buyers Beware!!!!

I bought this car, thinking it would be a nice reliable ride. Another plus was that I thought it was imported; boy was I wrong. I soon discovered that the top leaked like a river (2 days after purchase), and the transmission shifted erratically. My mechanic said these cars are disasters (engine leaks, failures, etc.); however, I gave it a chance, but before I traded, I knew the tranny was getting ready to explode. I also had a problem maintaining the oil level in the car. I would not recommend this car to anyone who needs a completely reliable vehicle or who doesn't like to take a shower on his/her way to work or school.

Try to get parts for this car . Some are made of pot metal, they break and dealers do not have replacements. The car looks nice if you can hold it together without duct tape.

This is really good car. Since I was a kid, I fell in love with it. Now I am going to keep this car. This is a classic race car.

So far so good after a month. however, i bought it used and it has experienced a slight leak with the top up. purchased a 4 yr. warranty with it, to cover annoyances like this. definitely attracts peoples eye(black w/ black top), especially the ladies down the shore. recommend it for fun driving, tight turns, sound system, convenient top device, and exterior appearance. cons - the GS model overall performance is average at best but pretty much expected that from about 142HP&tight fit in the backseat. we'll see how it handles in the winter but for now i love it.
