I would certainly echo most of your sentiments here! I've learned my lesson about aftermarket stereo shops...always go where the dealer recommends you to go. I didn't and it was a disaster. Thankfully, the dealer recommended shop was beyond amazing, and charged me $400 to spend two DAYS to correct a botched stereo job. If any LA-ers are looking for a great stereo upgrade, Precision Sound in Santa Monica is your place!

The V6 is absolutely amazing...so smooth, so responsive, and so quiet. It is the perfect engine for the convertible, and with the 6 speed manual, it's the best sporty value for the money. Living in the hills in LA, my mileage has been sort of disappointing, but when you have to climb for a mile or so, you can't expect 30mpg when you're on a hill in 2nd gear.

The seats are fantastic, the top is very well sealed, and the car is rattle free. I love having the nav system, though its made me realize that I honestly don't really need it..it was a "want to have" not a "need to have." I'm not sure $2000 is really worth it. It's one of those options that's great for traveling sale people, or people that road trip to random places....but if you are using the car locally, save yourself the money...buy better tires and/or the 18 inch Euro rims!

Cheers,
Paul H.
