I bet, but unless you're thin as a rail, I call B.S. anyway. I looked at a 2000 GT over a year ago and couldn't fit in the thing. And I'm under 6'. You must be very uncomfortable in that. (But I'm also fat; that was a factor)

I actually looked into those. I decided against based upon the climate I live in though. They're s'posed to have above par handling, and if you get one with the V-6 have a nice amount of low end torque which is rare to find in cars now days. Even though I think in 2001 you could only get the 2.0 engine. Some may be turned off by it's manufacturer, but it's got a good sticker price, and bring something to the table. Nice car.

Also if I had my choices in paint colors it'd go dark green, black, silver. Silver is the best if you drive on dirt roads especially. Best color for "hiding" dirt I know.

Yeah I think I'm taller in the torso than the legs, my legs fit ok, theres only about 4-5 inches between my kneecaps and the dash and the steering just sits right between my legs (like pretty much any car I've driven)

And, I'm repeatedly being distracted by that designtechnica ad to my left.

wow.

errmm.. anyway yeah... My friend made it sound like it would be no big deal if I wanted to convert it to a manual, he works at the Spokane Audi so I guess he knows his stuff. I hope :p

I think I'll wait till i'm done paying on it before I do anything... well.. major like that.

I run www.newtiburon.com and you should check it out. It focuses on the newest model tiburon but the 4cyl engine is the same as the 4cyl in the new model.

Nice car...Its exactly like my old one...Same color and everything!

Nice car Shauk! I looked seriously at the 2005 bright yellow Tuscan, but decided to go a different route.

Nice car man. Is that the V6? Sporty, economical, and has a 10 year warranty.
