Hey people. Picked up this thing last night. My prism of "fast" cars has been the sport compact world...Acura RSX Type S, Honda Civic Si.
Those just stopped doing anything for me so I made the plunge on something I have been drooling over since they came out.
I picked up this baby for 32k. Its the Touring model with leather, Nav etc. Still getting used to the Persimmon Leather color but its growing on me.
So far this car is exhilarating. Anyone who thinks the engine does not cut it with what Mustangs and such provide has not driven one.
I ordered today the OEM factor lip spoiler and a new shift knob. So far loving this thing. I don't think I have driven a car so responsive or ever accelerated so fast. Its great.
Next month making a trip out to El Paso for work and plan on opening her up on some of the long stretches of nothingness on the way there. Can't wait. I really can't where I am at since there is so much traffic usually.
I feel like a total idiot though driving...have not driven a stick in about 5 years but its coming back! Been over seas as a US Marine and Contractor for the last 10 years so time to enjoy a nice ride!
