The writer seems to be more about comfort than sporty-minimalism. He would be better suited to a larger displacement Z4 or Boxster, with all the nice options like "seat warmers" lol.

He also said it has 16 inch wheels.... WRONG he was discussing the AP2 obviously.

His review is very obvious: to most people who see the car, they are intrigued and think it looks cool. However, very few people would want to own the car due to the lack of comfort and the stiff and loud ride.

To me, the AP2 is even too refined. I'd hate to see what he has to say about the 00/01. I love the carpet interior, and I wouldn't add in the 02+ interior if someone offered to give it to me for free. I also added an open exhaust and is waaaay louder. I am the perfect candidate for this car. Close to 100% of the population, is not.

Yeah. Apparently old bobbing Bob fails to understand the phrase "True roadster."

Read his review of the MazdaMx5 (Miata) - it explains alot. It also made me throw up a little in my mouth.

"While the car's slightly more generous but still teeny weeny proportions maintain its position as an automotive gay icon, it's now more like the Village People
