An extremely fun car to drive. V6 with top down makes for great convertible experience. Have received numerous compliments on the street from folks. Don't go too fast over bumps or through dips or you'll scrape/bend the heck out of the bottom. Awesome exterior design, engine, and wheels. Interior needs upgrading.

Great ... so far

I was hesitant originally due to reliability concerns. Also was told that the rear seats were unlivable and that a convertible was useless in bad weather. But so far I'm very pleased. A 600mile road trip in a driving rainstorm on I95 with a tall adult passenger in the back seat went well. The fit/finish seem great and I've had no problems so far. And, obviously it's great fun on a sunny day. Acceleration is good; handling is very good, nice 6-CD player, and an easy top-down system. Add to that a decent price, and great financing, lead me to highly recommend the SpyderGTS...if you don't mind the compliments and attention you receive.

Drive about 600km a week, back and forth to work, in all types of Canadian maritime weather. Car handles well, even with the all season tires that come with the car. Feels sure footed in all road conditions. Tires wear out quickly, about 40000km, so wouldn't attempt second season of hwy driving with replacements.

What a ride! FUN FUN. What power, it blows away Mustang Gts. Handle like a racing car. With the sun roof, could have more head room, but that is the only flaw
