I feel you 😀 I paid 47.5k before tax. I think I did okay on the deal Cuz of the fact that it's been sitting on the lot for the winter. Michigan roads are bad so planning to get some sort of clear bra installed before I can daily drive it. It has Michelin sport tires now, how does that drive in temperatures between 20-50?

Sounds like you did really well. It is a fine car. Loaded. I was rotating the summer tires with all-season. The all season tires are stored at my local dealer. I'll be glad to sell them to you if you want them(I assume they still have them stored...). I wouldn't drive with them if temp is less than 30 for sure. I think factory says not less than 40 degrees.

Anything over 40+ degrees the performance tires do fine. Even in the mid to high 30's there is good grip. Anything below mid 30's as a daily driver and you will want to budget for some winter tires. I prefer dedicated winters for winter and dedicated summer tires for summers on my cars. Best of both worlds

Very nice!

I had red and yellow on my options list, whichever color I find with a brownstone interior, I was ready to go 😀
