i like mine just fine. it has sum power but nothing crazy. but if you throw in a set of cams and a tune youd be all set. like you said though its a great dd. 6speed is money on long trips. very comfy, good resale. i paid 17 for mine too with like 9k on it. its lightyears better than my 04 hatch,that as EVERYONE knows is balls. im hoping to sell it soon though. and new ss cobalt me want!! ---
