I wish mine had no sunroof (I have a pano.) - it would be up there in rarity with this one. That said, what a wicked little car (although it does need some love).



That's one way of looking at it. Another way to look at it is to say "too bad the 4.8is is missing one pedal and a proper valvetrain/throttle operation unit." To me, pedal count + simplicity > cylinder or displacement count
True. I was torn between the 4.8is and a 6MT, but couldn't live with 3.Slow. But, if the stars allign, there is a guy on the forum that might have a 6MT swap kit for us. So I pray every day he comes through.
