I wish we could've gotten a turbo, but we basically love this car.
Advice to Buyer:
Get the manual transmission.
Detailed Review:
The 5-cyl normally aspirated engine is quite peppy with the 5-speed, and has a great harmonic-laden 'pair and a spare' growl. Handling is good for having 15' tires, very confidence inspiring. The seats are phenomenally comfortable -- having been designed by orthopedic doctors. The 6-speaker stereo is very good, and gets great distant reception. We love this car.
