 The Eclipse Spyder is relatively fun to 
drive, but ranks below other sport 
convertibles I have owned, e.g., the 
BMW Z3.  The size is more accomodating, 
but design features such as the huge 
right blind-spot and the raised door 
jambs make this car a little 
uncomfortable.  Handling is good and 
tight, as a sports cars should be.  
However, gas mileage on my particular 
car is lower than I have experienced on 
similar vehicles/engines.  All in all, 
a fun mid-level car that is probably a 
few thousand dollars too expensive 
(even though I did get a pretty good 
deal).
