The Best Car I've Ever Owned. — Performance is incredible for the price (used), build quality is beyond compare in my experience. 70,000 miles with not one problem. The most incredible thing is that with 349hp I get about 25mpg on the highway. I've had over 50 cars and this is by far the best of the bunch. I absolutely love it.

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

I'd Recommend It To Anyone, You Can't Beat Them For The Price. — Just bought a 2003 with 38k, awesome car, acceleration - whoa!, the power hard-top is so nice, very little road noise, handling is smooth, my wife and I both think this car is a blast to drive. I'd recommend it to anyone, you can't beat them for the price.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Awesome Little Sports Car — Great little road or commute car. The power generated by the supercharged 4 cly is awesome. The car handles like a dream at high speeds. The powered top never misses a beat and fits great when up and locked; very little wind noise. The car is not well mannered in snow and ice; although the traction control does help.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Well Built & Sturdy — a lttile underpowered compared to the new one as it was lighter & not as powerful a compressor as the new model.
