I can see how my stories of the revelations upon spotting the car and initial discussions with the salesperson (Gotta go visit her again when it is warm out) would give the impression it was on "impulse" but you must have missed a few posts someplace.
After the opening discussion there were almost 2 weeks of back and forth before everything was signed and I took delivery. During those two weeks I read probably 100 reviews and scoured this forum for thoughts, opinions and what I could determine were facts. I probably spent 40 or 50 hours just reading and when I was done I knew exactly what I was getting into.
Even just 3 or 4 reviews into the search really told me enough that I would not have been taken by surprise on anything though so there really is no excuse for people that are.
The only thing from reading here that I changed my mind on after getting the car was going FI. The "needs more power" crowd had me convinced until I actually started driving it and figured it was just fine as is for my needs.
