Well after a week of ownership this car is amazing! So much power and so good on fuel, got 25 mpg on the highway with a new car! Thats great it can only get better. I love the blue, i love the build quality. I guess i needed a blue car in my life, this 1 had to be faster then the last. And much cooler then a gay vw lol. ---

I might go check them out since I have to get a car I can drive all year and the Camaro isn’t feasable for that. I’ll pick up a used one later on and mod the shit out of it.
