This is my first time ever writing a review on anything and I'm trying to save someone a big headache. This car is a waste!! When it rains the back floors get wet and it's not because of the top (mine was changed twice!!). It has horrible mpg and interior after awhile starts to look real cheap!! This car should def be a 2 seater and what is going on with that trunk? Can't really fit anything that can't fold in there. The second cup holder inside the middle console was a horrible idea.

Great fun to drive, corners well. As my son says, it's not that you go any faster, you just never have to slow down. The low visor sometimes is in the way when blocking low sun. Mileage good with Mobil 1, over 23mpg in city.

For the money, I can't imagine having more fun with a car. I love convertible living, though you have to be willing to ride with the top town quite often, becuase sight lines with the top up are HORRIBLE. The Spyder got a bit of kick and definitely gets it's share of compliments. Gas mileage with the top down is not that great, but well worth it. It probably doesn't help matters that I use the AC with the top down because of the balck interior and SoCal sun. I am definitely hooked and would suggest this car to anyone who would ask.

I had it for about a year and 1/2. Very poorly made car. Should be much faster for a V6, depreciates like no other. make sure you get in on the class action suit against mitsu over the garbage rims they slap on the car...
