Default just test drove 09 is-f bummed about 350 now

hey everyone i just test drove an 09 is-f today and now im bummed about my 350 and really wanna trade it in. i heard that its a way rugher ride than x50's. but i beg to differ. i love the way this car handle drives and just how it is. i think it was a huge mistake about test drivin that car cause now i want one even more than i did. the thing is a god send how come no one warned me about even being in one. haha plus i think i made the guy from the dealership $h!+ him self. took him to 140 on the freeway and was bobbin and weavin in traffic. never seen some one grab the handle so hard hahahaha. he said it was his first time on a test drive with someone else driving the f and you could definetly tell.

I think it's better for you (and everyone else on the road with you) that you keep your 350.

haha i rarely drive like that just really wanted to feel the car. dont get me wrong 350 is perfect or more than enough power for socal. but it is fun to feel the beast under your foot every once and awhile

I concur!!!!
So it looks like we just found the A..Hole that gave the rest of us "F" owners a bad name... First off the dealer sales staff whom let you preform such a dangerous act NEEDS to loose his job IMEADEATLY! And you my friend would be in jail right now if you lived in my state!! There is NEVER a reason to drive like that on a public roadway which are full of civilians, SAVE IT FOR THE TRACK!

Lack of judgement, yes but lets not beat a dead horse.

alright guys i was just sharing my story didnt mean to come in here and get ragged on. i just love the car thats all. sorry guys i definetly dont wanna give it a bad name. wich btw you dont. if anyone does it the civic si's running around my areas reving their engines any time i roll up. i know my area way to well to know not to do that bs on the streets. i just let them waste their gas and burn their tires. i know people dont pay attention enough to even worry about me flying by. again sorry
