svtcarboy,
They start fine, after a bit of cranking, they sound like a damn diesel for the first 15 minutes though rattling and sputtering like crazy. Evidently its common on most of them. Also takes about 10-15 minutes of slow driving before the tranny's warmed up enough to not have to double clutch into second or first (that's a mazda thing the old MX6 did that too). Oh well, at least it's not going into the shop every other week or so.
I head up to maplewood frequently, I like that shopping area better then Eagan and Roseville for some reason.
Happy Holidays everyone.
