What's not to love? I love that the roofline is so low that I tend to lose it in parking lots or when I pull up next to even a FOCUS it makes it like a a Ford 4x4. I love how the seats are 2+2 like a real sports car with a back seat and I agree that the seats are the most comfortable of any vehicle I've owned, and I've had a Porche, a Lexus and a few Acura's. I can't complain with the gas mileage and the quality of the 5S. It's one of the sexiest cars ever made in my opinion, especially after I added the front/rear SSIII splitters, it would def be in my top 20 sexiest cars list if not top 10 (I'm talking of all time '30's to today so that's saying a lot). I get compliments on it all the time as well as looks from people on the street or pulling up next to me. I love how near mint my specific car is and how it looks like it's only a year old underneath. Though it was considered expensive for it's time, it was worth it as the quality of the vehicle is matched only to cars well out of it's class. It handles better than my old 944, or any Integra (including my Type R, though it doesn't brake as well) I've owned, and I was always bragged about the Integra handling. I love the nice throaty sound I have with the Injen intake and 2" exhaust (stock muffler) it roars, the sound just fits the car, not like a sport bike ... it actually sounds like it has balls (though I've yet to find them lol). But my favorite thing is how rare it is in my area. I can go in a 200 mile radius from Buffalo to Albany and only see MAYBE 5 of them in a year. I almost sh*t my pants yesterday when a vert passed me. I maybe see one 5th gen or 7th gen every other week, but NEVER 6th gens.
The only complaints I have is the lack of mid/high end torque (I'm typically used to more) and the sloppiness of the automatic transmission. I feel like it has a mind of its own some times and just doesn't want to downshift when I step on it. But the plan after I graduate from college (for the 3rd time ) in December is to do a trans swap and cams. Not sure yet. Depends which job I get. If I get the one I want, it's staying stock for a DD and I'm going to source a low mileage MKIV Supra TT Targa. -------------------- 99 Celica GT-S
