I like it way better than my mystique for obvious reasons:
1. More power!
2. 5- speed
3. More power!
The ride is pretty smooth, compared to my dropped mystique. It has a little more body roll than I was used to with the H&R springs. The motor is really quiet at normal speeds, but there's more wind/other cars noise getting into the cabin compared to my mystique i think.
Overall, I'm impressed so far, now I wanna expereince that japan-built reliablility!
