I love it. On paper there’s not really much reason for the car to seem special, but they somehow do. They are comfortable, they drive great, they are way more fun than what they should be given that its a front wheel drive family sedan from the 90’s. And lowering makes them look fantastic.

Semi-period correct. Was more a “I need an aux input, Pioneer is awesome, and I can hook my old ipod to the back of it”. Plus side, to this day my friends can barely figure out how to do anything other than adjust the volume.
