Bought it thinkin that it was just a nice looking car, good price from a friend and really needed it to get to work (live an hour away). The ride is about what you expect from the car smooth not racecar levels of control but enough to get normal everyday folks to where they need to be, comes in other good colours I'm told too if you're really on about the aesthetics. Overall i dont know the showroom price but if you can get it used in decent condition for a decent price....it will be well, decent. I enjoy and hopefully wont need another for a while.
