Seat that makes me lean to the right and the awkward pedal placement
Advice to buyer:
Don't skimp. Buy the RS. You won't regret it.
Detailed review:
I bought the 2.5 RS model which I highly recommend. It has a lot more power than I thought it would especially with an automatic. Shifts smoothly with plently of passing power. I traded in my '95 Ford Probe GT and I am very happy. It gets lots of looks, since it looks like a rally car. The pedals are awkwardly placed too far to the center of the footwell however. The car handles almost as well as the Probe but has a better ride. There is so much torque on tap from a stand still this car never feels slow!
