There’s 2 cup holders in front of gear shift; it is hard to shift w/ cups there.
Tires and regular maintenance seems more expensive. I use synthetic oil. I like the convertible, but not too much trunk space. I have another car in case I need to transport more than one passenger. I like the seat warmer because the leather is cold in the winter.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jennifer C.

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.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jennifer C.

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.
