It is a convertible with an automatic hard top. It is perfectly balanced so it handles well. It is fast, which I really like. It is small, so it is just right for me. It is a standard transmission, which I prefer driving and these are very difficult to find these days.
It is hard to drive in snow or ice, since it is rear wheel drive and low to the ground. I have to weigh the trunk down in winter since the car is so light. It is size, while cute, makes it hard for me to haul anything large.
