I had a 1992 model with the 2.3 NG/5 speed from 2000 to 2002, I was very
happy with my car. I didnt think it felt underpowered, but it has been
proven several times that the European and American driving styles are
quite different. The car sits very nicely on the road, and IMO it feels
very stiff and rigid for an open car. I experienced a bit of a wobble in
potholes, with the top down. The top in these cars is very rigid and
with the top up, it feels just as good as a coupe. The only thing I can
think of right now that I didnt like, was the plastic rear window.
