My real test drive was the 13 hour, 958 mile road trip from Colorado to Southern California. Had the biggest smile. Good luck and hope you get a chance to test drive one!

Before I bought my last car which is an 08 s2000, I rented one on turo for a few days. Fell in love with it. I wish I could do that here.

These are, in my opinion, the best car on the planet for the price. They may overtake the Mercedes 300 diesel w123 bodies as being the most reliable problem free longest lasting cars ever made. On top of that they are a scream to drive
