not only did i test it, but i bought it (today.. i tested it a few days ago)



as long as problems don't arise TOO soon (i.e. at least 6 months w/o problems) i'll be pretty happy.. and as long as the problems aren't too complicated or expensive..

but so far, so good.. i would have loved to have a TSX.. but i couldn't afford one.. so i went with this..

hmm.. i've always liked mitsu 3000gts.. are those more reliable then? i really don't want to be taking my car to the shop every month, even if it's not expensive.. just too much of a hassle... *sigh* the stang looked/sounded nice tho.


do not get the turbo, toomuch heat from the turbo and warps teh valves, and hella expensive to replace a turbo.

it's also the other half to the dodge stealth, wouldnt buy one myself ever

looks nice, cept the baby blue color.
fords run pretty well until something goes wrong and then it snowballs from there. just keep up with the maintainance

Good job. So you test drove it and liked it then. I like those rims and I've seen that color in person, it isn't baby blue and looks much better in person.

My Integra has regular maintenance and it has 76,002 miles on it as of today. Not a bad used-car buy. But I'm not selling! Clean interior, engine runs smoothly. Sorry, it's not the typical used Taurus.

Nice car, nice color too. That blue looks hot when it's detailed properly. Hope you enjoy, now you need I/H/E/P and you'll be smokin'!

what's I/H/E/P?




and it's not really baby blue... it's been described as "metallic blue".. although i don't think that's what it's officially called.. maybe arctic or something? but yeah... it's closer to the color of this emoticon -->


i'm really happy with the car so far. my younger brothers both saw the car at the same time, and both their jawz dropped. i barely got insurance today, so i haven't driven it much. but yeah.. i'm pretty happy with my choice. maybe in a few years i can get a TL IS350 or M3 or porsche or something. (*dreaming*)
