You did get the "S" though. :victory:

i dont think LMFs hubby would appreciate it if i gave her a ride. :rofl: :rofl:

The hood scoop is an S giveaway... :)

Ghost stripes?

Did you get any options? Sport Package?

yeah, it is.. but some dont know. as far as packages, got sport package, nav, anthracite interior, english oak trim and some other misc pieces here and there.

ghost stripes are transparent grey/silver, not solid like the regular ones. it's like putting a few strips of light tint from front to back.

17" run flats (all S comes with RF) the ride is a little rough with the stiff sidewalls and the sport susp. it's almost as rough as my acura is now.

That should ease your transition. :)

How's the driveability, considering the torque peak is at an surprisingly low 1500 rpm? It should come off the line quite energetically. :victory:

torque steer is rather bad, power kicks in fairly quickly. in sport mode it comes off the line very quickly, otherwise it's pretty tame and fuel efficient.
it's hard not using a lead foot, even around corners, i'm averaging 19.2 mpg according to the computer.

they say it's a chick car, and i fully agree. i got two phone numbers eariler today while i was at the post office. :rofl: :rofl:
