They are loud, too hot when its over 85, too cold when its under 60. The suspension leaves a lot to be desired, but the car has its place. They are quick as hell with a meager amount of horsepower. Its a driving experience equivocal with a older muscle car. I've taken it to Knott's and besides the periods of snow it was fun as hell, but they drive wears you out.
