I travel for a living and I get to test pretty much any car you see out there for under 100k; from jags to coupe caddies, vettes, etc... and this is "THE ONE"... I get it (rent) every time I can and as other comments have said, it's very low to the ground so you will feel the bumps (not a good thing if you have a bad back), it may even give you a "sea sickness" feel after a few days if you ride it hard all the time because of the constant "pulling" feel, it's the only car I've gotten to do three full doughnuts on a regular street crossing, the other ones tend to lose control or go all over the place after half turn (and I stopped because i coulnd't see because of the tire smoke)
Gas mileage is way good for what you get in return; head turning? I won't say so but not too many people out there will not respect you. Girls love it, specially the convertible kind which seems to have a better engine sound because of the structure of the car.
Not too much trunk space, enough for a carry on and a backpack, if you're picking somebody up at the airport, make sure to ask if they have more than 2 pieces of luggage... or they will have to carry it on their lap...
Sound system is very good, I won't change it unless I wanted it to last forever. Engine noise it's not as loud as a Lambo, but it's a great sound when you turn it on and you know what the car is capable of. Controls are user friendly, etc, etc, etc.
If you are looking to dress it up: some smoke lens covers, window tinting, and maybe a classy spoiler will do the trick. Plenty of places to get accesories for this. I could go on and on about it but you won't know what any of us is talking about until you get in one... don't worry when you step on it the first time and the car tries to do something not expected, this is probably because you have never ridden a bullet...
CONS: if you have a bad back you will feel the pain, as other people mentioned, watch your speed!!! wait, it's that a con? getting in and out of it: you have to get the hand of it, doors are fine, I don'tknow why people complain about that... talking to the passanger: you don't want that, you just want to ride... if you're the passanger: shut up and hold on to the leather... don't go for a hard ride after eating... don't ride it hard all the time or you will feel motion sickness to the point where you won't want to go anywhere... if you don't believe this one I implore you to try it for about 3 to 4 days... you'll remember being warned... Not the car for very long drives (more than 12 straight hours) but still very comfy for anything else, cannot be turned into a weekend car :o)
cannot be used to impress your girlfriend's mom... but definetly her dad's... The guys who have wrote bad reviews because they rented one for 3 or 4 days don't know what they're talking about... I have rented probably about 30 of this babies for periods of up to a month at the time and based on the way I beat them up (pretty bad, 100% of the time) I consider this kind of car the strongest and most durable one I have ridden.
