Thank you for the kind words. Just in case anyone was interested, it's a base with the 1sc package, the premium stereo/XM radio package and optional roof rack. It's 5 speed with the 2.4 and I'm finding it plenty of fun to drive. I have some questions about the roof rack, as I can't figure out what bike racks can fit with the crossbars so close to each other. Maybe I will just end up going with a hitch rack despite having a factory roof rack.I look forward to seeing what becomes available aftermarket in the suspension/handling department.
