Yup, only 4K! It amazed me that it was so low

Wow, you're right. It's pretty sweet in that color. I'm partial to red myself, but that silver is pretty awesome: I haven't seen one of those before.

Sorry - I think when you said "first car" we all assumed you were 16 or something. You'll be fine. Just try not to be an idiot (I struggle with that, personally. Curvy roads really lower my I.Q. and make my right foot very heavy. But I don't condone that.

This is funny because I also have a 10 series and it was my first car purchase as well.

Congrats! Great first car, especially to learn RWD properly.

Personally I feel very spoiled in my car history and I remember getting my first brand new car. The FRS is a helluva car and will change your opinion on every other car you drive. After RX7's, 300ZX's, Eclipse's and Honda Civics nothing changed my mind about how other cars should handle more than the FRS. When car shopping after having daily driven my FRS for a year I couldn't stand how soft and spongy and numb every other car had become. Even in my '16 WRX I feel it's too soft and not reactive enough to my inputs.

Everytime I see the 10 series/Monogram center console I get jelly. Congrats on your first car purchase!

The center console was a huge factor in the car buying process. I test drove a few before I bought this one, but this was the one I knew I wanted.
