Fit/Finish is better than what you'd expect. Or better than what I expected but what I paid for this car I could have bought a very sweet used car.

It's a lounge convertible with NAV, leather, and everything else they offered.





It's sitting on Eibach prolines and sparco Assetto Gara in 17 inch. I plan on swaybars and better shocks when they become available. I'm not doing the exhaust/intake/ecm thing because I'd end up scoring about the same horsepower as a corolla.

Gas mileage could be better. It's the 6 speed auto. I average about 30 but using the eco-drive I've seen 35. I have a friend with the 5 speed manual and he sees 41mpg in mixed driving.

Had one as a rental. Pretty neat cars! I'm eyeing a Sorento myself (got almost 90k on the Optima now and planned on keeping it to at least 200k but I've needed more space more times than not the past few months - plus, the 2006.5 Optima is NOT rated for towing at all even though the 07 is identical and IS rated for towing small trailers.

Towing comes in handy with the snowmobile.

i like that green

thats a mid $25k ?

Z wants something sporty and convert. was thinking camaro SS conver but kinda trailerish and $30k+, Lexus IS (250/30) C , but even a used 250 is $30-35k, 350 = $35-40k USED, infinity G37c $35k+

i think that lil 500 looks like a barrel of monkeys and the kids would luv it too.
