But the thing is fantastic fun to drive. 
They're great value used. Mine was less than three years old when I bought it, with 25k miles on it, and it had lost half its value.
I don't love the stock 18" wheels. They look just fine, I just wish they weren't so big. 18" tires cost so much more.  |
Thanks for your more in-depth sharing, Mr. Pockets.
I agree they're great value used.
I have my SVXi, a mazda and a nissan and they're all more than 10yrs.
I don't really drive them a lot - - occasionally I started them and drove around the lot. The nissan starts up like normal and idles smooth and AC blows ice cold still even I don't touch it for 3 or 4 months. My SVXi are almost the same. But I feel the mazda struggles a bit or getting down if you don't drive it very often.
