This was a great first car to own. For starters it is a convertible, which is great in the summertime to cruise around it, especially with good friends and good music. It is a six cylinder so it definitely can move. Even at its old age, the former luxury features - leather seats, automatic seats, infinity speakers - still work great and do not need replacing. Sure it has had a few problems here and there, but what car at its age does not need a few fixes every once in a while. I have taken this car on longer day trips (4+ hrs. driving one way) and did not have any issues with it. Additionally, given the older age of the car, it was built at a time when cars were built to last, small dings and dents have had little impact vs. the plastic cracking in newer cars bumpers, etc. I would say that one definite con would be the gas mileage. Given that the car was made at a time when people were not as conscious about fuel usage this makes sense. However, much larger cars that are newer get better gas mileage than this car which averages about 17 mpg. Additionally, I have found the car not to be stellar in poor weather such as snow. It has gotten stuck a few times in unplowed areas, however I have always been able to get it unstuck quickly.
