Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer, however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.

Convertible top: Numerous problems with the convertible top include a top that does not seat properly to the car body, rattling from the trunk when stowed, water leaks at the rear window, and/or difficulty raising or lowering the top. (2006)

Vehicle noise: The shifter may rattle against the trim ring requiring the trim piece be glued in place. (2006)

This table lists costs of likely repairs for comparison with other vehicles. The dollar amount includes the cost of the part(s) and labor (based on $50 per hour) for the typical repair without extras or add-ons. Like the pricing information, replacement costs can vary widely depending on region. Expect charges at a new-car dealership to be slightly higher.
