  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    I like good, reliable cars and decent acceleration, balanced with value for money. The hood is a bit of fun on a warm sunny day.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They like it and think it suits me.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes, if they were still made. I've tried other convertibles in his price bracket which have handled poorly with the top down.

    Possibly a Civic as that would be more practical for moving the kids around.
