On top of it, the "trendiness" of it right now really puts me off of it. The interior is one that either you hate or love......i loved it at first, but found it a bit irritating after spending time in it.
It's a good car, but it's one of those cars that either you LOVE or you HATE...personally i wouldn't buy one....but i can see why people would want one.

I didn't realize that they could be that fragile. During the test drive we beat the shit out of that car and it seemed to take it all pretty well. You're totally right about the trendyness of it, but thats why, one bought, he'd modify the hell out of it to make it pretty custom and more fun to drive.
My only real gripe with the car was that everytime I'd need to use the throttle, or let off, my foot would rub on the break because the peddles are so close together. Other than that, I rather liked the car. It could have been a bit faster, but like I said, thats the easy part.
