A Well-Built Car

Over the past 5 years that I've had this car I have always had a wonderful driving experience. It handles well in all weather conditions (especially on the hilly snow-filled streets of New Jersey) and is sturdy enough to make me feel safe amidst aggressive drivers.

I've had this car for over 5 years. I now have 82K on the odometer. I still love this car. Very good utility, fun to drive, looks great, very comfortable on long drives. You can get a tonne of stuff in the hatch area. Fold the seats and double your cargo room. Very good seating position, roomy in the front & the back (better than an Audi A4). Passing power is fantastic. Handling is pretty good, but could be a bit better. This is an excellent car for long trips & adverse weather driving (especially winter driving with snow tires).

The car is a lot of fun to drive. It's not very good in the snow, but I guess I shouldn't be driving a convertable in the snow anyhow!

Great Vehicle - Good reliability and Performance. Only issue is the handling . Vehicle understeers or plows in corners. Wheel design with low profile 225/55R16 tyres is insufficient for northern potholes ( bent 7 wheels in 7 years) Highly recommend vehicle with 5 speed and turbo 2.0L

I Bought this Car off of ebay and have had no issues with it so far. (previous owner had a lot of work done and a new top installed just before I bought it!) Its a lot of fun to drive and it corners decently well. The center of gravity is a little high so it tends to roll in corners. But otherwise driving it is a blast. It gets OK Gas mileage cause its a litle heavy for the 150 HP 2.3 L but it still gets where I wand to go Plenty fast! Overall I would buy another one when this one dies!
