Any advice you can provide...?

Well, Chad86, you will be for a fun test drive......[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Roger/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.png[/IMG]

First off, I would suggest you take a minute to get yourself seatedproper (for you). The driver’s seat not only goes up and back and tilts,it goes up and down.

You won't have to (and shouldn't) run it up past 4,000 rpms, to get an ideawhether or not it will be "quick" enough for you.

The "back seat" isn't going to get any bigger, so make sure thecar has enough people/cargo capacity for your needs. No, you can't evenput small children (in car seats) back there for any extended period of time.

The manual transmission may seem a bit "stiff", however, theyusually get smoother as they warm up and with use.

Be careful if you back up, these cars have a couple of so called "blindspots", however, with properly adjusted mirrors and twisting your neck abit, what's behind you can be seen.

Don't expect the salesperson to know much about the car.

Have fun!
