it's a cool car to play with, but unless you got one that was kept nearly immaculate it will be a bit of a headache or a total nightmare to try and daily drive. if you keep it stock and keep tabs on everything on a regular basis you'd be ok, but if you want a car you can leave alone most of the time and just tinker when you WANT to, better get a honda .
yeah i have done a lot of reading and research on all the aspects of them on Starquestclub.com, and i decided not to get them... i am going to look at a 240 soon LoL go figure
