So i went to the local dealer and test drove it, not impressed at all. I mean the car is nice and all, i really dont like the new shape to begin with, its a girls car for sure, but a 3.8L only pushing out 263 hp makes me think this should be a Ford Eclipse or something.
The drive was nice, it has a stiff suspension so the ride really isn't that smooth but nothing to complain about, it handles pretty well. I did slide out a little on the on ramp going onto the freeway, the guy told me it's cus the car needs to be worn in a little, makes sense but that was a problem. From the stop you punch the gas and you kind of go to make sure your pressing the right pedal or if it is in 1st, pretty slow off the line, but once you get over the 5500rpm range it has some nice pull, im to sure on times for 1/4 or 0-60 but im sure it isnt too quick. The interior was cool, it has like those half leather half suede seats or whatever it is, i dont like em but if you do they looked nice. Still got those stupid circle vents for a/c and heat, those annoy me, look tacky too. But everything inside is situated where it should be, nothing is gonna make you go what the fuck. The one i test drove had a premium audio package, which i dont care anyway cus i end up puttin my own shit in their, but the speakers cracked when i put it up, wasn't really loud to tell the truth but some people might not like there music real real loud. All in all the car is cool, it's driveable, and if your like 16-20 it might be for you. I'd buy one for my girl and for around 20g it isnt a bad choice, but not something that is screamin to performace enthusiasts like the previous gsx's and such, so peace.
