The acceleration is terrible no fun at all. The build quality of this car is no good. I have had to repair if numerous times. I have nearly repaired it for the same amount that I bought it for. One of the positive things is that the gas mileage is quite low. Only reason that this car could be fun to drive is that if the engine would be replaced with the M3:s..

Pros — Gas mileage
Cons — Performance
