test drove an '07 Versa last week and it was one of the worst cars I have been in. Drives just awful. Ended up with an '07 focus instead. No options, no mileage.

Oh noes... I'm renting a Versa tomorrow to take to Ottawa, the g/f wants a Versa so we figured this would be a good test drive :S. Maybe your just too used to your Z?

I'll post some pics of my rust infested and expanding foam filled 1993 Mazda MX6 winter beater when I get a chance! She's a beaut.

That X5 is so proper. Reminds me of the G-power one. Congrats on the turbo, thats a massive jump. Are you thinking of getting the 997.5?

Im sure a new one will be better, the one I tried was maybe just abused. Its just the steering was really loose, the seats didnt really offer anything in support, and the ride just wasn't very nice (compared to the same year focus anyway). The back seats are nice though! Im 6'4 and fit nicely in them! haha

thank you on the compliment on the x5, much appreciated. I'm getting rid of the H&R springs and puttling coilovers because I want to go a little more lower.
I'm looking around for 997, 997.5 will be too damn expensive... lol. I want to do something stupid like do a TechArt wide body or slam it on ADV wheels so i'll need some cash for that.
