I'm 32, and felt I was a little too old for this car, but I'm glad to see us over-30 folks are representing here

25 here. I was lucky enough to have two hand-me-down vehicles from siblings which allowed me to save up some dough. Once I graduated from college and got a stable job, I was able to purchase my black beauty.

The age discussion pertaining to this car has been popular across many forums. In my opinion, this is a car for driving enthusiasts, regardless of age. Certain vehicles definitely have a very "for youngsters only" vibe, but this isn't one of them.

Excellent point and I completely agree. This is an enthusiast's car. As a reviewer on youtube stated..."...this car is slower than others out there, but my God that misses the whole point..."

Couldn't agree more. If I had this car at 16, it likely would have been wrapped around a telephone pole by now attempting to do something incredibly stupid.
