I'm impressed!

Drove the wife from San Diego to Palm Springs to take her shopping today. Don't drive her car very much and I forgot how much I liked the ride. I love the way it handles with the 19's and the acceleration isn't bad for a 189 hp motor. Good buy for $30k.

i'm more impressed by the design of the car than its performance because you can buy faster cars but you can't buy one that looks this good in this price range

Mick1, congrats, in advance, on your new car. I just needed a nice drive to refresh my memory on how good the Benzo is.
Most of the time, the extent of me driving this car is...
1) Spot on car
2) Back out of garage
3) Wash and detail car, inside and out
4) Drive back into garage
5) Thank you honey from the wifey.
