got it at Off Lease Only with 19k miles and let me tell you. I have owned Cobra's and Vette's and Rx-8 and I have to say this ride is sweet!!!! Yes the others have bigger Engines cheaper in price etc etc but come on the Warrantee is untill 50k miles or 7-2010 I couldnt go wrong. Storage is no problem it's a 2 seater I have an Explorer for hauling and an Acura RL for a sedan. This is my FUN car and it meats and excedes my expectations.
This was just about the nicest looking car I have ever owned. It was also the most unreliable car I have owned to the point that I only drove it near my home in the case that it broke down. God knows that it broke down often. Frequently I kept the car in my garage and did not bother to take it to be repaired. The problems started just a few days after the car was purchased. It was mostly in the shop the first few months I owned the car. I was very happy when I got rid of it and took a huge financial loss. My experience with this car is from two years ago. The newer models may be more reliable
