Great car, really fun to drive, but still practical
I got this car about three years ago with about 100,000 miles on it. I love the sunset orange color on it and the sun roof. It would not be practical with kids but is great for my husband and I. While it's only a two door, it's not unreasonable to fit two people in the back. It has worked really well for us. When I got it initially, we had to change the clutch and then learned a lot of typically easy fixes are difficult. My husband has been able to fix most things himself, but it can take a while. It's all fairly basic repairs such as clutch, starter, sensors, and so forth. But even changing the headlights becomes a process to get into it. I also dislike the need for premium gas and special oil, but that's to be expected with a sports car. It can also be hard to physically get in and out of as the seat is only about two feet from the ground. This car has made multiple cross-country trips though. Again, not for a family, but a few backpacks and my husband and I fit perfectly. If you put the back seats down, I have fit a full dresser in the back though. I'm not much of a speed demon, but it has a decent take off and acceleration time. We've added a carbon fiber hood and touched up the paint, but it's very aesthetically pleasing. The inside looks nice too. The dash has melted a bit and has come up which is unfortunate, but it's an easy fix. It's not the most comfortable car ever made, but it's not unreasonable. The fog lights on the front are nearly always broken because there's nothing to cover it from small rocks and pebbles. Overall, I suggest buying this car if you're looking for something that looks pretty sleek and fun to drive with good reliability. If you don't know how to work on cars, you may need to be prepared to put down some money on basic mechanic costs. It also cost us about $400 when we lost the key to cut and program it, so make sure to have a spare!

The most reliable and sporty car.
I really like my vehicle. I liked that it's reliable. I have never had any problems with the engine. Other than a few oil changes and regular maintenance, I've never had to pay a lot of money for repairs. I also really like the outside body of the car. Even though I've had this car for ten years plus, I still take the time to admire the exterior of my car. I love the design of the back of my car. I dislike the interior a bit. I feel that there really was a backseat space for my passengers. The quality of the car is excellent because my car still looks like new. The quality of interior have passed the test of time. I've never had problems with the engine, and it can still out perform newer cars on the road.
