Maro Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Drive a stage II 5 speed and tell me it sucks. (Up-pipe & a programmer) I also agree the I-drive is lame. Skip it. I'd buy a used '05. Mine is mint and KBB is $18k now. I agree about the cramped comment. I'm 6'3" and I can't understand why they didn't allow the front seats to travel all the way back to the rears like bimmers. Now that would make me happy. However I was able to drive it 17 hours in one day and that didn't kill me. I have no issues with the interior space... but I'm only 6'. The interior is designed nicely and cleanly...if a little sparse. I, personally, love the placement of the seat heater switches on my '05. The stock suspension was TOO soft, IMHO. I dropped the car 1 inch to help reduce roll and pitch. The step up from stock to Stage 2 is a huge change (13 psi to 18 psi boost pressure). Also... I have driven both the 5EAT and the 5MT (which mine is) and the 5MT is MUCH more fun to drive IMHO. The I drive is a joke. I wouldn't want that on mine... what a PITA.
