Hi Joe,
The cars do vary -- later cars are more refined. For instance, the first
few hundred cars did not have decent sound insulation and that was added.
All of them suffer from poor engineering. Lots of issues with leaking, body
panel fitment, body panel cracking (acrylic over fiberglass and different
expansion and retraction coefficients) and on and on. For me the overall
enjoyment is owning an oddball car that gets attention and is fairly cheap
and reliable. I use mine daily except in the rain. Kim
