Since I purchased my car back in March I have enjoyed it. I love just dropping the top during the day, driving through the city and just watching all the girls waving and smiling at me. The performance is wonderful. I have a friend that drives a mercury cougar with a 4.6L V8 sohc engine with a performance chip installed who thought he could beat me and I beat him at the strip by half a car length and the only thing I've added to the car performance wise is a cold air intake. It's the first car I've ever had and I'll probably keep it around for a while.

Great to drive, looks great, a lot of fun for not a whole lot of money. I've even had people get in the back seat because they want a drive in it! Has plenty of pep for hills and for highway driving. The standard transmission shifts very easily. Top is easy to put up and down. Very reliable, even handles well in inclement weather. The initial 0-60 is good, but not great, and, hey, it cost a lot less than the other sports cars I liked out there!

I have only had 2 minor items that were taken care of under warranty. The Clip that holds the visor broke and the right rear window gasket needed to be replaced (kept catching on the window). That is it in 15K miles. In general a real fun low cost convertible that turns heads.
