Thanks guys! oogaloo, sorry I didn't receive your PM in time. I have heard good things about the Oakville dealership though, so thats good.

e-Sarge, I may be out in the East end soon this week, and might try stopping by that dealership, thanks!
It took 3 guys to remember that the release is in the glove compartment. My girlfriend took the car out, and i did seperately. For some reason, they don't seem to let us go together, insurance purposes supposedly, I dunno. When she drove it, she asked if the seat went higher, the sales guy didn't think it did. She's pretty tiny, so she couldn't see over the console too well in the low position. I immediately found the seat height adjuster when I took it out, so that shouldn't be an issue.
I asked him if the suspensions were the same on the base and Redline version, he said they were, but I was pretty sure they were NOT. I quickly realized he wasn't too knowledgeable after that. Also asked about the traction control, I saw there was a switch, but wanted to know if there were different settings, or just on/off.He said 'its always on". Once again, they were very friendly, but not too knowledgeable, and that is VERY frustrating, however all too common I have found.

This was the Redline we took out, even though she will be getting the base model. It was POURING rain out, so not the most pleasant of drives, didn't get over 50 KMs an hour. We will be driving one again in better weather.

From what I can tell from that very short drive, I liked the stiff suspension, car seemed very stable, but the A pillar did seem HUGE and does seem to block the main line of vision. I suppose you get used to that, but that was my main complaint. Other than that, couldn't tell much from the short rainy, slow drive other than I still LOVE the way these cars look!
