Hardtop convertible sleek and awesome
I really love this car. I like having a hardtop convertible because it feels like a regular sedan. It handles well in the winter! I also love that it has a moonroof in it! The only thing is that the backseat is really small. Two people really can't fit comfortably back there.

It only fits 4 and went use in convertible you will not have trunk space a all.
Is a great car. Can reach a really fast speed on the highway. Looks super elegant when convertible. One serious problem that it have is if that if you don't it a garage and leave it outside the weather stripes around the convertible part will wear down and during rain period the water will come inside. The dealers sell a lubricant that you need to put every 6 months to help the weather strips to keep moist.

Fun and zippy little sports car.
Hard top with the power moonroof. Super fun to drive, fuel-efficient with a 4-cylinder turbo engine. Be sure to properly maintain the roof seals or it will leak. Discontinued in 2016 so difficult to find but if you can get your hands on one hold on to it!

The transformer, 2 seater sports convertible with sunroof.
I love that my convertible also has a sunroof you cannot get that in many cars! It is also a hard top which I like. The turbo in it is amazing can get up and go! It is very loose and I can hear everything outside of the car. I have had the same car before just an older model. Love it.

Fast car, great mileage, and decently priced.
It is a great car for just two people. If you ever have any passengers or a large dog it can be kind of troublesome as you’d imagine with most two door cars. It is super great on gas and the sports mode is awesome if you are in to quick acceleration. I have had it for about five years and I’d definitely recommend it if you are looking for a reliable hard top convertible that is great on gas and has a decently large trunk for the size of the car. Definitely suitable as a daily driver.

I am amazed by the top mechanics.
The quality of the hard top and sunroof make the entire car for me. I did have issues with a leak coming in through where the hard top connects to the windshield, but otherwise the mechanics of the convertible have been great. The brakes are a bit more touchy than others cars. The trunk is large when the top is not down.
