The best riding sports coupe.
The most comfortable sports car ever. It rides like a sedan but has all the pick up and maneuverability you want in a sports coupe. I have almost 140, 000 miles on mine and it still rides as if brand new. The only con is it requires high octane gas, which is more expensive, but overall, is worth every penny.

One of the best convertible
Owned 27 various cars in my life. I think I can tell this is one of the best luxury reliable sporty convertible fun car I have owned. And I had BMW, MBZ, Infinity. Just WOW

Dream Ride
Absolutely stunning looks and amazing ride! I have owned ad LS400, GS350, RX300 & an RX350 but this is my dream car. It turns heads and turns corners like a race car. I am 6'3" and still fit in it comfortably. The power roof is an engineering marvel and the ride is surprisingly smooth and quiet. Even with the top down, I can talk with passengers and hear the Mark Levinson sound system fine! This is a fabulous vehicle!!!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Lynda L.

It is a fun ride. The car has a unique exterior styling, and the twilight amethyst color is gorgeous. On the con side, the run flat tires are awful. They do not hold up well on the roads and are super expensive.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Lynda L.

The run flat tires do not hold up well on the average roads, which tend to be in poor shape. They are easily punctured and cost a small fortune to replace. Trunk space is limited, and of course there are only two seats in the car.
