all I can say is, do it.

Sport package is the only way to go. the only real faults are cracked radiators above 50K, and although the manual says plugs at 100k and tranny fluid never, do both around 60K - especially if it's the 5 speed auto. They also typically suffer from suspension control arm bushings and ball joint failures around 70-80K, problems with resistor pack failure (HVAC controls - not a big deal to fix) and burned out pixel dash displays (on board computer) Other than that, they're pretty reliable cars.

Mine's been great. Rock solid, built like a bank vault.

Edit - mine's been in my posession for 3 weeks now, *2k miles bought at 52K and now at 54k and i'm still tracking oil consumption (none!) - haven't bothered with mileage yet. It's better than 20 MPG average though - even the way I drive.

I love the Forged BBS wheels the sport comes with...Full size spare too.
