The ride is 'different' and I am occasionally aware of that larger rotating mass. But, we have the sport pkg, (though it's old and tired), so we were/are used to slightly stiffer ride.

The mpg didn't blink as far as I can tell. Still enjoying the old car for this old driver, as it heads into its 16th year with 110k miles.

Great to see you still hanging around here mD - you need to drive that old girl more often

Mine just turn 13 with 123K miles. Still purrs like the day I brought it home. Never gets tired of looking back at it every time I park it
