We tend to forget how old these cars are. Yes, it could easily fail as with anything that has moving parts and is old. That said mines a '96 and it still works great. As for noise level I've heard others complain but closed mine isn't problematic. I only ever have it open around town cause it is noisy at highway speeds open. Pretty much like a convertable. As for headroom, open the sky is the limt closed it must be pretty close to a standard roof. I like mine. I however view it kinda like a convertable or t tops, you tend not to open it up as much as you thought you would. I think the biggest thing you should think about when buying is, am I up to all the headaches an old car can be? If you aren't willing or able to do minor repairs any car over 10 years old or 100K miles might not be a good choice. Otherwise, these sure are fun little cars and the cali top is pretty cool. |
