Default Drove the S today

..And i'm still smiling.

Lately i've had the urge to get a new car since my current car, a BMW 323, is getting boring and a tad slow for my tastes. After lurking this site for a couple weeks, i found he motivation to go test drive one, in the winter no less.

This car feels great, very mechanical. it's responsive, handles amazing, and i now understand what vtec means. I took a very long test drive around the local twisty roads. I didn't want to get out. The drive home sucked tho, the car just felt a little too quiet and sluggish.

I'm seriously considering one. either looking at a slightly used 06 or new. but, i'll try to settle down for a few days, so i can think clearer about buying a new car. if not, i'd probably pay msrp and be done with it. lol. we'll see!

I'd say try and pick up a new(old) 06 or a low miles 05 for around 23-25 depending on the market and miles.

Oh and go NFR since its the fastest

07 has special tranny fluid, which should be enough motivation to pay full price
