I had a small rattle in the trunk area. It went away. The transmission can sound a little clunky sometimes, and the engine can sound different at idle, etc.

It just takes practice. Go out on a weekend for 30 to 60 minutes somewhere that has curves and hills. Try rev matching first, then heel and toe when you are comfortable. I have been driving with...

Looks like we have all encountered Mustang drivers doing stupid s###. Last encounter was a GT at a double left hand turn. Thank God I was in the outside lane. He lost control of the rear on exit,...

Both Lexii are very nice cars, very different than the twins, but I imagine that is why you are looking at them.:)

That is true, however, if the wrists are over or on top of the wheel with arms straight out you will get that slight bend when you grasp the wheel.:)

Upper Midwest here. I truthfully don't drive it much in the winter, and wash it almost every week, so I am hoping it hangs together for quite a while.

Like you, my benchmark for sports cars were cars like the Datsun 280z, which I was lucky to own way back when. With a 0-60 time around 8 seconds, which was fast in the late seventies, I certainly do...

If I was going to buy a mustang it would either be an ecoboost or the GT350. But I'm not because they are still too big and too heavy. Nice car though.

I have never gotten rid of a car before it was paid off, and traded in only one right after it was paid for, which was to buy the BRZ. I usually will hang on to a car at least 4-6 more years. In the...

I put 16" blizzak WS 80 tires on steel rims. With 16" tires you can have more sidewall which gives a bit more clearance as well as a better ride. I actually like the them so much I am thinking about...

I feel the same way. It doesn't need more power, unless you race it or wantonly break the law. The interior is purposeful, not cheap, besides, I'm driving it, not lounging in its luxury.:w00t:

Maybe. We might know a little more after the New York Auto Show, although the big news there will be the unveiling of the new Impreza.
