I test drove 2 cars today. The first was an Audi TT. I was unimpressed. I know its a small car, but it was pretty tight in there. It had enough power I guess, but the big turbo lag made it difficult to shift smoothly. What I disliked the most was the boring suspension. It didn't have that point and shoot grittyness that I expect from a sports car. I felt too disconnected from the road.
The second was a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. I stopped by a dealer to check out a Mitsubishi Eclipse, but it was an automatic. I noticed this old Suby, and the dealer talked me into taking it for a spin. I was really impressed. The suspension and gearbox were the most fun I've driven since the Subaru STi's I test drove recently. Unfortunately it has too little power (same engine as my wagon) and too many miles (92k). I wish I would have found this car 5 years ago. I'd still be driving and bragging about it today.
I guess the search continues. I'm planning on checkin out some 3rd gen Eclipses this weekend.
