cute and fun

It's a bit small and a coupe. Interior styling was really nice--lots of knobs and fine touches. Car drove a little rough and was not comfy for long rides. Not good in snow or rain--slippy. Fun to drive but needed the bigger engine. No mechanical problems at all but sold it at 50K for an upgrade.
