Sorry.. too many years with a gtp grand prix. Good catch.

You couldnt buy an 07 gxp if you wanted. They are on backorder for 6 months according to my dealer. I asked.

Not to mention comparing modded to stock cars is a little unfair.

good point. When we were autocrossing the civic, the only mod we did to the car was adjustable shocks at all 4 corners, to keep it in the stock class, because once you go into the modified class, you get people spending alot of money on a car, and stripping the interior, as we were using the Civic as a daily driver. I was just thinking using them for fun track-day cars, and going out and flogging them at an auto-x occasionally.

Your also right about stock vs. modded, but for the money, for a stock car I would get a used S2000 or a new miata for a 2-seat roadster to flog at a track or an auto-x.

The lady I know who owns a Solstice has had no such problems with the top or interior. She got the car for about 19k (about a year and a half ago) and loves it. She uses it for her daily commute to work.

Sucks they put such a cheap top on the car. Hard to believe one with 10,000 miles already has holes.

My parents bought a Toyota Paseo convertible (last model they sold, I'm assuming they sent the left overs to California to get chopped in hope to sell the last lot of them). It's a great light weight FWD car, but the soft top, even with a rear glass window with defogger, is just too cheap. After 2-3 years of NY weather it started to deteriorate. And repairing a convertible top can easily cost into the thousands.

Nice reviews Gray, I agree with why you are posting them here, straying from the "Model Car Reviews" we have on JW. Keep them coming.
