Yeah, I looked at the I30 back in '02 when I was shopping around for cars. I30 was second place, I ended up with the '97 TL instead.

Yeah I wanted another TL but settled for this. It's got some amazing pull when flooring but almost feels like the suspension can't contain the power. "Boaty"...that sounds about right. For the price I paid, I'm happy though; got it for under 5 with 123k miles.

Right now it's not that too big of an issue [otherwise I wouldn't have bought it!]...I need to throw some new tires on and get a small paint job.

Congrats on the purchase. I've always liked the I's but the turning radius is a kill for me.

True, the turning radius is another one of my gripes! I did a U the other day on a wide street which I could've gotten in one swoop in the TL and it ended up being a 3-point...almost felt embarrassed.
