I have mix feelings about it.. I have the 04 GT Lightning Yellow.. Car has over 112K, reman has about 42K. But looks brand new!
I been averaging 12-14 mpg.. But everytime I get inside, I drive it like I stole it. Since gas is cheap these days, I drive it worse than before
For the price, I think its a great car!! Its somewhat practical in sense that it has room for 4 people.. and a boot that holds stuff.
I'm an FD owner and in someways, 8 drives better than my modified FD. Power is not comparable but handling is great! I recently swapped out my stock rims for my Forgelines again and its like driving on rails on the street. Tires are 245/40 and 275/35 and I been using that for track days.
When the car is working.. I'm fine and VERY happy. If MPG could be better, I'll be even more ecstatic. Only issues I been having are random engine light (came on again 2 days ago), flooding, MPG, etc etc.. And when the transmission gets hot (like on the track) I had problem shifting into 4th, 5th, and 6th. ONLY when it gets really hot. I've changed it to different fluid and it still did it... Only on track though..
But like whitey said, I've personally thought about selling it and getting something else.. But there are days when I look at it, I'm like, "Why?? It looks great and drives so well!!". And for 10-15K for one of the best handling car, I say its worth keeping. I'll probably keep it... even though I need more reliable car.. but so far only major issues I had was bad fuel pump. Which stranded me couple of times until replaced... This might not be related.. but pump went bad after I started using pre-mix. At this point, I don't bother with pre-mix.
