Nice. I think the base model is truest to form and all I would want or need in this car.
Club edition in manual is the sweet spot but I could do without the touch screen and bose systems. $3400 seems a lot for the extra performance pack, but I know I would struggle not to check that performance pack box.....that is @ $32800 in total. That is pricey when you are shopping for driving fun (for normal folks), but not many new RWD options down here (BRZ/FR-S, non V8 muscle car, though a base Stang GT on paper starts at 32k)....if you go AWD, you have the WRX and change, if you go FWD, plenty of options under 32k and highly spec'd out. Still though, @2300lbs of fun....really only the FR-S in this world. What is nearest to this at this price in new roadster form? I struggle to think of an example in the US. If only "cheap" Caterham's were for sale here - loads of fun. 32k would also get you a lot of used roadster though including used German roadsters.
