 WAY fun car to drive and it turns many 
heads.  I opted for manual 5-speed 
transmission, and it performs very 
well. The only things I have not liked 
is (a) some peeling on the door 
handles & dealer didn't fix to my 
satisfaction; and (b) with a smaller 
wheel base, the car rides rough on 
bumpy roads -- but that's life in a 
smaller vehicle.  You can park this 
puppy anywhere though, and you are 
guzzling precious fuel like those SUV 
owners!  I love my Cabrio.  It's been 
a great new car experience.  Looking 
forward to spring so I can DROP THAT 
TOP! :)
