Surprisingly, this car was quite loud (road noise,
creaks, squeaks) and the acceleration was quite good,
from 60-80 or so for passing.
It did have some cool features, like adjustable
steering feel and mirrors that dipped downwards when
you go into reverse and a seat that moves back when
put in park to allow easy exit.
Against: FWD+V8 - bad idea. Terrible stereo. One
crappy cupholder.
I almost got to like it by the end of the week.
