Detailed review:	I recently purchased the VR-X model, and I couldn't be happier. Having had a previous Diamante (93 LS), 2 prior Galants (89 GS and a 99 GTZ), and an Eclipse, I'm very familiar with the models. The VR-X is unique due to its sport-tuned suspension and additional body cladding, and it vrooms, with a throaty exhaust note that may take a little getting used to, but once you do it's sweet. Leather seating and surfaces coddle you, although I could do without the orange gauges on the dash. But this car moves, and provides just enough road feel to not feel too harsh and not be squishy. On 2 recent trips, the first to Nogales, Arizona and then to Los Angeles the car performed flawlessly. Mine has the Tuscany Red paint color, that looks copper in the sun. Having reached my 40s I opted for a sports sedan rather than a trophy wife with big boobs. It was cheaper, believe me. When 18 year old kids at the local ice cream shop comment that it's a cool car, that's the highest compliment I could receive. But don't buy one. I don't want it to get out that I drive a great car.
