my protege gets 25/30 where the fr-s stick is 22/30 I think. I could spend 80 books on a MBC, drop in coilovers for a G and blow the fr-s out of the water...but my car is getting old and I would like to trade it in before I hit 100k miles.

I told them I would return next weekend to go for another test drive. I don't think I went above 5500 rpm so this time I will push it. I was being fairly cautious as it had just rained and it's a car I've never driven. I used to drive a trans am and had some hairy moments =)

I love the car...but I just don't know if I want to put myself back into debt to drive a similar car that just looks better.
