Message And I actually got a insurance quote too. But there are a couple of things swaying me from that purchase:

1. They sell for sticker, that's it.
2. No test drive till you "are sure you want to buy" (As far as I am concerned, that's like marrying a woman with out sleeping with her first. No thanks.)
3. Insurance is slightly higher than my Z
4. Needs premium fuel all the time.
5. No special financing rates

Things that I still like about it:

1. 170 Hp turbo DD which is still capable of 30 MPG
2. Nicely styled, no need to buy anything for it.
3. Full stainless exhaust
4. Free extended warranty (local place offers free 10 yr/100k mile powertrain warranty)

I'm currently looking at Corollas, Civics, SE-Rs, and standard Proteges. I may also consider a 2 yr leased WRX, with a warranty of course.

I got time though, the Geo is still kicking strong =)

I love them...I shall name my first-born after them with glee. Mock me, point and laugh...but as I spin through first with no power braking on my little automatic daily driver on 285/18" tires I'll enjoy the shit-eating grin and take it in stride." - SeedyRom 05:13:20 10/03/02
