Its comfortable in comfort mode, but not too comfortable where you cant tackle a few corners in it. Read more

Oh yea. Theres more legroom back there than a Mustang. Im not saying its sedan big, but my son got back there fine.  Read more

Yea they arent that big, though it sounds like it. Especially at full throttle.  Read more

All that will be in the review. This isn’t the review, which is why I was light on a lot of things. Read more

No problem! And I agree. I think X-Line is going to be the one to get. Sadly you cant get that cool green color on the X-Line. Read more

Thanks! Dont worry, I got a list of 20+ cars to work with to keep you guys coming back. Always up for suggestions as well.  Read more
