Default Semi review

I have had my S for a full month now and in the past couple of weeks I have driven two other cars besides my S and there are a couple of things I have gotten used to which make me think I will never want to get rid of it. The major thing (I would think would be a minor thing) is the gauges. I drove my bosses TSX and I felt like my brain was going crazy looking at the three gauges separtely. I was spending more time bouncing between the tach to the spedometer then I was looking at the road. And when I was looking at the road I felt like I was driving a cruise ship. I was going crazy the whole time thinking I was either going to hit the curb or a car in the other lane, it is even worse in my fiance Element.

Then there is the power. I know the S is not the fastest car on the road but It feels like something is wrong with a car when I step on the gas and it I don't get the feeling of "ALRIGHT HERE WE GO!"

The S has corupted my feeling that a car takes you from point a to point b.

I can't wait to see what this car does to me when I go FI

My fiance has a 06 Honda Element. Even with the small wheel base it takes corners like a big SUV because its basically a box. I remember taking my first traffic circle with it and my heart rate jumping because I took it at full speed like I can with my S. Plus I feel like I'm a mile away from the windshield and the ground. But I will say that I drove the Element ALOT before my car and it is badass for a toaster with wheels.

I go back and forth between the S and my Toyota pickup all the time with no issues. I just have to remember that I can't take corners quite as fast.

Now, the M-in-law's Grand Cherokee, that's another story. Mainly because it's a POS.

If you would have been selling it a month ago I would have bought it. I really wanted Berlina but my car was too good of a deal to keep shopping.
