First off, like @
FR-Sky mentioned ...... you're 26 years old ...... nuff said bout that.
Too old ?.... hey, I'm 74 and I'm not too old .....
Not professional ? ..... if you don't do outlandish mods ..... it sorta looks like a more expensive sports car.
Bad in snow ? With proper snow tires, no worse than any 2 WD car.
No kids yet. So why do you need a back seat..??
A manual in the city? After a while, shifting will become "automatic".
You had that car before..?? So what, I had an NC Miata before ..... that don't mean I won't get another Miata (roadster) (but first I would have to get a younger wife ....
).
What criticism did I get..? None, mrs humfrz said fine, "as long as I don't have to drive it and you don't trade my car in for it".
As far as your friends moving into sedans and SUV's and think they are maturing ..... IMHO, it's
how you drive ..... not
what you drive that shows maturity.
Don't let others wreck up your enjoying your new car ......
