3.0 Dolphin

picking mine up in 2 months or so, but I test drove it twice already. The first test drive was 6 speed non sport. I wasn't too impressed with this set up, plus there were very low miles on this car (about 40 miles) so I didn't want to push it and it didn't want to be pushed. Maybe the low miles also contributed to the notchiness of the shifter. The car didn't feel like it had much power (too new?) and the suspension felt a little too soft and loose. A little dissapointed.

Second test drive was a 6 speed with sport suspension and about 300 miles on it. WOW! Huge difference!! Shifter and clutch felt very reponsive and not notchy this time. Sport suspension was amazing! not too stiff not too soft, just right. the suspension held its own on bad roads. Salesman took me to a great open road full of twisties. handling is almost perfect...I took a sharp turn a little too fast and the car shook a little bit laterally. But otherwise, handling is the best I've driven so far. the 3.0 engine sounded fabulous and was fast as hell (even though I only took it to 3800 rpm max) the throttle response is precise and instant. i could go on and on about the interior, exterior, more on performance...but I've gotta go....I can't wait to pick it up!!

I had the same experience with the 3 test drives I took with the feel of the 6-sp being much different. I am happy to say that at about 900 miles now the shifter is much better than when new and I have heard from others that it should still improves for the first few thousand miles.
