Worth the investment?
I've owned my Spyder now for better than 3 years. It's used as a fair weather driver exclusively. For it's design as an "inexpensive sports car" it's a winner. Don't buy this one expecting to use it for much more than FUN. Luggage/Storage is a joke. Although it's a very light vehicle, I find myself looking for just one more gear (5 isn't quite enough) and a bit more power. Simply a FUN TOY if your in the market for one. Bottom line, drive this one before you spend the added $$ for anything else!

Junk... Save Money and Buy Much Better
Ok, I'm going to give the real review on this car. I've always owned some pretty nice sports cars and after 2 years of owning this I can say its pretty much complete junk. First, the build quality on this car is incredibly poor. Everything about it. The paint is awful and chips, scratches really easily esp. black. The body panels do not line up well at all and will shift. The top will fade and become difficult to put down, you will get "ears". Headlights fade and fog very easily. The stock suspension is too high and very cheap. Brakes are just ok. Worst of all... the car is slow. Not sports car standards. And it's really not that fun to drive. Remove precats or engine will blow! No joke.
