Get one mate. I hated the things, the shape mostly.. but after driving one around for a few days now, I'm almost tempted to buy it myself!
Its' such an easy car to drive, so smooth and comfortable, but when you want the power and sportiness, just take it past 5000rpm.. and for a whale of a car, its' pretty damn fast! The only letdowns I've found so far, are the sheer size of the thing (I compare them to 300ZXs in terms of width/length.. big cars!), poor brakes under "sporty" driving, and the weird sensation of 4WS!
Things to watch for.. from what I've heard, the sunroofs rust, the ABS units aren't the most reliable, and the digital dashes in the earlier models tend to crap out, but parts are suprisingly easy to come by, and also surprisingly cheap..
