The good news is - this is a sexy car! It oozes sex with its
sleek, flashy body. It’s sporty, handles
well and is affordable. The fuel economy
is 25 city and 35 highway and it goes from 0-60 in 6.3 seconds, which means it
ROCKS!!!
I drove a Spider with a grigio moda meteor grey exterior and a
saddle interior with leather trimmed seats.
The bad news is - at 5’10” I found this two-seat droptop a bit
claustrophobic. There isn’t a lot of headroom.
I couldn’t push the seat back. The
storage compartment was actually behind me in the middle of the car.
Awkward. It’s low to the ground which
hampers the ability to see what’s going on up ahead. Because it’s so low – you
feel every bump in the road.
But, it has some get up and go and it looks good doing it. Heads
will turn and people will point as you stroll down the road. That’s because
this car, based on the Mazda MX-5 Miata, has personality. The rear-wheel-drive is offered in three trim
levels: Abarth, Classica and Lusso.
