....it's not for everyone. The ride is on the harsh side. Highway driving on concrete highways (thup...........thup.........thup) can be wearisome, and bad roads in the NoVa area really can take their toll. IN fact, I'd go so far to say the ride can be punishing, and hitting significant bumps, the dated chassis actually reverberates with the impact sometimes. Weird. But still solid. The inside is a little plasticky and cheap (although the seats and the leather are phenomenal). The wheels seem to lose balance and the alloys does tend to bend a little more than most alloys. Finally, there are lots of squeaks and rattles (all very minor), which some may find unseemly in a car that retailed for $38K new.
But so much of that is forgotten when you floor the accelerator at about 2300 rpm in second or third. What a rush! And the hatch: I carried $800 of Ikea furniture in it. I've also carried two keyboards, three amps, keyboard rack and assorted other musical equipment, all without folding one-half of the seat down. Amazing. Try that in a BMW -- in fact, you'll pay $500 for the privilige of even getting fold-down rear seats in the BMW.
