Well I'm getting bored of my car. I want to to be faster, and just more fun and rewarding to drive. I want to know if there's anything I can do to improve it to keep my interest in the car.

Meh, I rather have a car with superior power over handling. In a perfect world you get both, but that costs a decent amount of money. Unless you live on a majestic mountainside, car with good handling doesn't really get much use. All the roads where I live you can take at above speed in a truck of all things. So, yeah... Give me power.

Disagreed, good handling to me speaks of a proper car, and that always has use. 95% of my driving is 45~ MPH city streets, and I utilize me handling daily, just depends on which corners can be taken swiftly. That's the best part of the 7A. it can be flogged while remaining at legal speeds.

So handling capabilities is irrelevant.

If all you do it putt putt around town doing errands never exceeding 35 mph, you don't need 300+ hp. Right now I'd be be better off with something that got better mpg, or something I'd really like to drive. I'm the world's pickiest person, so there's no guarantee I'll like the next car either.

I guess call it reasoning with the the heart over mind. The 7A is dead reliable, and that's great. It also can do 38mpg, that's the most I've squeezed out of mine. Unfortunately, the glory of those numbers starts to dwindle with such a low bhp output, as a car with this power and weight should be getting over 40mpg. I've seen you say you're cheap, I hardly doubt your next car will prove less fussy than an ST.
