It's a big car with a 3.1 V6. If your just wanting a car, grab it. If you're wanting something you can mod and play with too, skip it and get at least a GT.
I know - it's more or less a base model - I'd rather have a GTP or even GT, but it'll be a daily driver and I'm not looking for something to fly down the road in. If it didn't have the sporty package with it that adds the bigger, non-stupid looking wheels from the Asstec that the true SE base came with, etc I wouldn't go for it. It does have cruise, power seats, dual-zone climate, the 3100 (that I'm getting the LIM changed on to avoid the known issues and issues my current daily driver has experienced with the same engine), etc - it's alot better car than I have now that I drive back and forth to work. At the end of the day I'm getting this car for $2500 in mint condition, not a door ding, no rocker panel rust, garaged all its life, all maintenance records, single owner in the family, 80K miles, etc. Can't frickin' beat it!
