I drove a 2.0T 6-speed model today that was in MY price range (8K).

YES.

Your avatars are too similar and you're both brown.  I can't tell you apart anymore.

And for a 2007 S40 T5, that price is a bit lower than KBB value.

Completely irrelevant. The idea is pricing within the framework of the market. Why in the world would anyone pay more than they had to for a similar product? A 2k difference is just silly given that deals can be found for vehicles competing with the S40 T5. It just does not do anything to really set itself apart especially not 2k.

Mine's the coolest. You guys try holding the camera still at 131 mph*








* ok fine. km/h.

Also, at 131 mph, I could barely keep the steering wheel still.

Lol. At 110MPH, my Focus was solid as a rock. (reletively)

Anyways, I hate to be picky with transmissions, but I have to agree that the 6MT TSX is the one to have. Automatics just feel to me like they sap more power from a peaky engine like the TSX's than a torquey engine like the Volvo's.

So was my car. There's quite a difference between 110 and 130 though.

Revving in park, which you still shouldn't do.

It's my mom's Accord...which I absolutely despise.  It'll be going away soon.

Pfffft. Accent cruises at over 4000 RPM.

[WookieOnRitalin]

Well, its done.

Put my deposit down on a 2010 Suzuki Kizashi GTS with 18k miles for a OTD price of 16.5k. Loaded with everything except Leather and Nav. The final price is 3k less than KBB. A great deal I'd say. Unfortunately, I have to fly out to Cleveland to go get it which will be next weekend.
