| 2009 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
clean and nice design |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
High quality materials throughout. Just like and BMW |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Everything feels so solid, and the feel,smell, and look of all the materials does not feel cheap at all. You feel like you are in something that cost what you paid for. |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Convertible top still looks like new after 6 years. Glass rear window. Trouble free engine. Smooth shifting transmission. 12 yr corrosion warranty. Free of rattles and annoying trim issues. |
| 2003 | 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Sitting in this and operating the switches and feeling the materials is a pleasurable experience. High-quality all the way around. |

| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Car is well assembled with quality materials and workmanship. The vinyl seats are actually of a quite high grade material and actually look and feel close to real leather. The convertible top is tight fitting, well finished on the inside, and quite. |
