Ratings  
Performance
Design
The body is such that when it rains, water drips from between where the convertible top meets the windshield frame onto the driver seat / floormat.
Comfort
A little tight if you're over 6' 2" tall; head will rub up against the cloth ceiling.
Safety
Totalled the car in Aug 2009 and walked away with a scratch.
Reliability
Engine went out at 58,000 miles. Secondary timing chain tensioners was a notorious problem with this car.
Value
If you get it used, nice value. If new, not so good - car depreciated over 75% during its lifetime.
Running
Expensive to repair but you almost have to expect that ...
