Advice to buyer: |
Buy it now and go with the 'S'. You won't be disappointed. |
Detailed review: |
This car is pure fun and pizazz. Cornering is like being on railroad tracks. There is very little body roll or sway. Fuel economy is 28-34 based on how sporty your driving style is. Sound system is very clear. Plenty of passing power even in tight spots. Seats are very firm, so bumpy roads are a problem. I live in northern New Hampshire and the S doesn't like frost heaves at all. Get the bonnet bra to protect the front end from chipping. It's a lot cheaper ($99, then the special clear coat for $450. Great little car. Wish I had purchased it sooner. |
