Handling is great, power not so great >.<
But hey what do you expect for 17k?
But handling is pretty impressive, very planted on the highway etc. better than the last FWD car we owned 2005 TL, and better than the corolla, you can actually corner pretty fast not much body roll.
Suspension is pretty stiff though which explains the lack of body roll, but I don't mind.
Not liking how the car makes you feel so small  , not sure how you describe it but you can't see outside much, but basically the opposite of  |

LOL nah, it's actually quite lovable, but pointless right now, especially when you can't afford to do much with it.
It's fun, but not the most practical or safest thing a New driver like myself should be driving in.

It's already lower than the Base XE because it's the XR doesn't really seem to need to be any lower.

I'm so tempted to pick up the last 3dr Salsa Red -5spd here in Kelowna now.. THe only thing that's holding me back is the lack of ass warmers ..

Is it effective?
The ones on my old MK4 GTI would fry your ass if you're wearing shorts.
Well, my other option is to pick up the white one with the premium pkg, but it's an auto.. I'd rather freeze my ass than to have to drive an auto ..

I used them last night, they have 3 settings, I don't know personally I'm not a fan of butt warmers so even on the lowest setting it was uncomfortable for me, but yeah they work.
