 We purchased the 500C in November and have driven 6,000 with no problems.The rides comfortably, is very nimble and accelerates nicely to stay with the traffic.It is not a race car but very sporty.This car cruises the highway at 75 mph and accelerates well throughout the entire range of the speedometer.Driver visibility is excellent as the car sits higher than others of it's size.Front seats accomodate all but the largest passengers.Rear seats are cramped for adults but just right for kids.This is a very fun car to drive and park.It's also easy to get in and out due to its height. Overall the car seems well made and we have had no maintenance issues.
