what do you think the best thing about your vert is?what is the worst thing about it is?

I am undecided on buying one but wonder as of the general opinion of the people who own them is. Please respond with more than "There Freaking Sexy!!!"

You really have to drive one, but most people I know who hated verts, fell in love after riding in one.

I think the best parts are, while others have their windows down and sunroof open, if they have one, you can just take down the whole roof of the car. It is an exciting experience when you drive with the top down, and it never gets old. It also makes interior work much easier, becuase you don't have a roof in the way.

The worst: my top started leaking, soon to be fixed. The top is the only real problem, unless you want to get a lot of power out of it, then you might need to think about strengthening the chassis.

great decision, espcially if you take that thing to the track. it feels so much better drifting with no roof than with windows open lol

Most of the vert specific parts are NLA(no longer available) from Nissan. Things are breaking and falling apart due to age and it's not easy to maintain and keep in good condition. I hate that.

But, there are more good things, so I'm keeping it for sure.

The attention it draws.

It is dog slow because the AT does not like to allow the motor to get above 5k RPM.

i hated verts always but then my dad got a 91 miata and i love driving it with the top down. it also kinda made me like pop ups more. its fun to press the flip up button till the motors go weird and it starts to wink haha
