Stylish Little Italian — This is a very fun car to drive around town in. It's swanky good looks gets a lot of attention. I love almost anything designed by Pininfarina, this car being one of them. It handles well, and gets good gas mileage.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Very nice little car. Fun to drive, easy to maintain and very affordable!

Fun Ride At A Very Reasonable Price. — It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow! this is a perfect case in point. Handling is great yet the ride is smooth. This is one of those cars you can work on yourself without getting into real, costly trouble. Nearly all parts are readily available at reasonable cost.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

fun to drive, classic that won't lose value

Cons

expensive parts, not a family car

Our Alpha — Let's see, it's fuin to drive, espcially with the top down. I have a love/hate relationship with the fact it is only 2 seats. I hate that the parts are so expensive. It drives and handles really well. It is hard for Karl to fit in it comforably ( like all of our present cars) but a prefect fit for me. It's also super cute and everyone looks at it when you drive it ( again not sure if this is a plus)

I'm In Love — I am a little bias. It is a beautiful, reliable little car that turns heads. My son's are in love with it as well. Great cruiser and reminds me of Italy.

Convertible squeks and rattles

You Will Get A Lot Of Onlookers When You Drive It. — Because it is a convertible, there is a lot of flex in the body and squeaks and rattles. No where near the solidity of a hard top but that is expected. Great car for a leisurely cruise downtown.
