Would Like To Own It But... — This drives beautifully and gets great milege on my weekly commute to Boston 33MPH on the Mass pike. there is nothing negative I can say about this car except that we are selling it.

Almost everything

Suspension has a more sporty feel than a smooth ride; its a matter of personal preference

Slightly Pricey, But Great Performance — Beautiful, fast, and smooth. The 2.3 engine puts out 265hp, and the turbo has little to no lag. Smooth performance anywhere in the RPM range.
