Well, it's been a year now, and 8800 miles later - here's some observations.

Still drives like new, no problems until a few hundred miles ago when the rear-end groan started. My local dealer will do the work on it next week.

No Shaker problems....yet, use the CD player every day to and from work.

I do not find that the interior looks cheap. Not fancy, but functional. No rattles from the interior either. The console plastic does scratch a bit too easily however, and detracts from the newness of the inside.

I would rather have the tach and speedo positions reversed, but it' OK. MyColor is cool to play with, but I leave it on either the default blue/green color or an orange/red setting most of the time.

The Legend Lime exterior still impresses me every time I see it on this car. It does seem to be a love it-hate it color, but I've had way more 'love your car and the color' than 'why'd you get it in that ugly color' remarks. It does attract attention!.

Performance wise, it's great. Running thru the gears is always a rush!.

The only real beef I have is with the noisy tranny. It was a bit noisy when new, but it's getting worse as the miles a put on. It doesn't affect performance, just annoying.
