More than a MINI, less than a 3

Pros:Appearance, size, handling, acceleration and braking. Cons:Price! Loud climate control system. Very quiet exhaust. Carpeting. 1st to 2nd shift is notchy. Overall Review:Outstanding vehicle.

A more realistic competitor is the V-6-powered Infiniti G37 Coupe, although the G37 is not offered as a convertible. The converse is true about the sporty Honda S2000, although it is a strict two-seater powered by a high-revving four-cylinder.
