Here's a few pics fellas
Just a note to the discussion, I
wasn't looking for the fastest car I can possibly get my hands on for around 16k. I was actually asking for negotiating advice in my original post.
However, this car is a perfect fit for my needs as DD. The original owner inlcuded all maintenance records from day one and has kept everything in near perfect condition.
I noticed that the exhaust really GROWLS in 3rd gear around 3500 RPM, but (after research) I found out that there is a valve in the exhaust that opens up past 40 MPH. This was done to keep noise at a minimum due to some EU code for city driving in Europe.
I will definitely get the ECS wire tuning kit which controls the opening and closing of the valve valve via switch.
Quick review: AWD helps for quick acceleration and provides very neutral handling, seats are comfortable AF, MPG is decent 19-21 city and 24-28 hwy, styling to me is very mature and lovely and of course that darn exhaust note
I think I'm falling in love
P.S. Sorry for the small pics (see sarcasm), haven't figured out this droid razr maxx...
