Maybe a midget....

Seems to be a resonable price to see a car with a little over 15,000 miles. Any particular reason for selling the car? Anyway good luck with the sale.

I usually consider sporty/sports cars two seaters. When you add back seats, you're really only having an excuse to call the car a people carrier as well. Yes, there are many cars with 4 or 5 seats that churn out numbers considerably higher then most MB's, but they just don't hold the same appeal as a two seater for me.
But everyone is different and has their likes and tastes...

I think Top Gear made a joke about the Evo 9 being just an Evo 8 with a different badge on the back...
But yeah, it's one hell of a car alright!
But thanks, I'll stock to MB's, Ferrari's and the like... the only Japanese car I'd like to buy is a used NB Miata. I just have a thing for that car.

Yeah, it's a cool car, but I'd rather have the S2000.
(drat, actually, make that the MX5 and the S2000 the two only Japanese cars I'd really like to own).
I'm not saying I wouldn't mind driving other Japanese cars! oh no, there's some really good cars that are made by Mazda, Honda, Toyota and co, but only the MX5 and the S2000 cause me to think about then in awe... (I'm a roadster lover at heart ).
