Hate: Dash is too plain, turning radius, losing all my money to it.

It's an addiction!

gas milage is probably the ony one, if your winged maybe the attention it draws to cops, i live the HVAC controls as simple as they are. It could have came with a boost gauge for what we all payed too, and oil pressure/temp

HATE: Where to start......4 door, ugly, sounds horrible, terrible interior, 4 cylinder, associated stereo types, creaks, rattles, notchy transmission, reliability....

LOVES: The way it drives, and that it puts a HUGE smile on my face whenever I drive it hard. Sometimes that's all that matters.

Pros:
  • Love the exhaust tone and the power/torque - keep in mind I switched over from an S2K.

Cons:
  • Gas mileage is crap, even when ***** footing it.
  • Factory stereo sounds like it belongs in a Chevrolet.

There's other things that I'm sure I'm forgetting but since I'm not driving the car, they aren't popping in my head.

Love - raw, undiluted performance and the lack of frills.

Don't love - wish the car was lighter.
