Absolutely exceptional - everything I expected it to be. I was not prepared for this level of performance. 300hp moves this car better than a vette. My only reservation is that I wish I had pony'd up for Navigation package option. My thought going in was that the Nav system was a wasted expense because within a few years I would rather be using a new Garmin or cell phone GPS system. There are some other convenience options that come with the Nav package, including the built-in bluetooth, flash-card memory for music, and the integrated IPOD connection.
