Honestly I was never planning on buying one, I just went out to Test Drive one. It was a blast and oh boy did I miss driving a 6 Speed Manual. Ran some numbers, rebates were right, and pulled the trigger. Got the car fully loaded with Recaros for $21000, $12000 downpayment with my credit card (free points), $200 monthly payment, $48 full coverage insurance, and 35 mpg I couldn't pass it up. With an easy tune and intercooler upgrade this little bad boy gets 280 ft/lbs of torque.
It felt wrong to commute the ISF 20 minutes in the city 5 days a week, felt like I was doing her a disservice by driving her that way. I'd rather beat up something that is cheap and fun instead and save her for the real trips.

Id recommend one to every member on here.
