2011 GS torch red Ragtop purchased Labor Day 2014 w/11K miles. Now a bit over 17K. No problems of any kind so far.

On further reflection, there is one thing: It seems every semi sporty car on the road wants to race or show out in the presence of the red car. We've had a dozen Mustangs (they seem to be the most prone to this), a couple of Porches, Camaros, some sport bikes, two or three hopped up pick up trucks, and even some sort of VW (GTI?) want some of the red car. Last week, was a new low: we had a NISSAN SENTRA NISMO (this is not a mis print!) come up beside and make it pretty obvious that he cared to try matters. Is there no end? What is next, a Toyota Yaris?

We don't care to race, although we feel fairly confident that the red car would fare pretty well in most of these contests. It was amusing when we first got the car. Now, many instances later, it tends to become annoying.

We trudge on (within the posted speed limits).

I hear that! Took to dealer for tires and they ran battery dead.Didn't put in reverse but I guess it was my fault. I dont have the warning tag. Just the chime going off and the DIC telling you to shift to reverse. Had to force their hand to get a new battery. Where can I get that factory warning tag?
