Cute, easy to park, gets lots of attention.
Surprisingly spacious & comfortable interior.
Slow, no power (don't get auto trans), rough ride, terrible gas mileage for a tiny vehicle (under 20 city, 25 at most highway).
With T-tops out, wind hits directly in your eyes.
Didn't you drive the car before you bought it?
Even a short trip should have revealed the things you are complaining about.
Read my review to see how a happy X-90 owner feels.

I own the x/90 for 9 years since new. it just keeps running without any problem. I had 1 oil change each year and have purchased 3 batteries and a set of tires. I hope it runs for 9 more years. lsp26@webtv.net.
My 1997 has been a wonderful car. For the price and features, it's hugs the consumer investment category. I have had absolutely no problems with it at 10 years old. Regular oil changes and 2 or 3 tune-ups.
It is at 50K miles and the wind has never hit me in the face at 6'1" tall when the T-Tops are out.
Having only read 1 complaint about the car speaks volumns. The class and size of this car category has not been beat. I can't think of a car this size that performs as well.
Keeping mine until it dies if I can out last it.
I wrote the original review. I bought the car on ebay for its looks - which I still love. Admittedly, I should have driven one first. If I had enough covered storage, I'd keep it. If it had a manual transmission, I'd have been much happier with it. I've read that the automatic transmission really makes it sluggish. I could pedal faster than the X-90 will move. I plan to get rid of it soon, and find something that can manage 0-60 in less than 60 seconds.
P.S. If you want to see really harsh comments, check out the book "Crap Cars".
I'm interested in your x-90 if its for sale.
