I have big feet. 

And why is there no throttle feel? 
I have size 13 plus

Not so sure about throttle feel problem? Perhaps you need to drive more than 1 NA.

Mazdaspeed3 - see how it stacks up against the Cobalt Turbo.  I like both of those cars.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

I'm a 13 as well. 

The throttle was really, really light, and I couldn't get it to rev under 2000 without really straining my foot.  I mean, it may have been partially a product of the weird seating position, but there are few cars that were more uncomfortable to drive that I can think of.  Usually, when I'm uncomfortable driving a car, it's because the seat cushions are too wide and flat, or the driver's area is too big (I hate the feeling that I have five feet of empty space between me and the rest of the car), or there isn't enough lumbar support.  But some cars I just get into, drive it for a few minutes, and have to get out because they seem built around people who are not built like humans.

I'd like to take a speed3 for a run too. Just to see how bad the TS is.

Why a Mustang? I would think you'd been in so many that you'd know exactly how they are.
I'm hoping they will have a 2010 on the lot when I go.

Don't know that the Mustang will be out, but the new Fusion should be.

You hit all the budget cars... if you're having fun, try these too...

1. BMW 535 I won't be going near a BMW dealer
2. Acura TL SH-AWD Yeah right.
3. Cadillac CTS-V Good luck getting a test drive.
4.Lincoln MKS I'll try if I have time.  It's low on my list.
5. Audi S4 I won't be going near an Audi dealer either
6. Mercedes GLK Why?
7. Acura RDX Why?
8.BMW X6 Why?
9. Lexus IS-F Good luck with that
10. Mercedes C63 Again, good luck with that

This is about a month away, and I heard the 2010 Mustang would be released sometime in March.
