hey guys.. i'm new here i am just wondering if yall coupe owners think this is a good investment.. i need to find out what options are a must get and interior combinations you guys have.. and here's the big question, does accelerating makes you say "wow" or "holy shiet" ??? =) TIA.. oh.. i almost forgot.. any rattles or annoying features ?.. thanks =D

 

Its hard to say about it being a good investment, but the sedans seem to be holding thier value well and the coupe is even more desireable.

I would say the must have options would be the Sport package (auto trans), and the premium package especially if you are looking at resale. Personaly, the nav was not a must have for me, I'd rather save $2,000. But, obviously a coupe with nav will get more in resale later.

But, honestly, the LAST thing I'm thinking about with my coupe is resale value... its too much fun to THINK about selling!

Annoyances... the only really annoying thing for me is I wish the passenger seat had an electric recline so that when you flip the seat up to get in the back, it would return the seat back to its previous spot.

Acceleration... I'd say with VDC on its WOW and with VDC off it can be HOLY SH@@T!

VDC isn't going to affect acceleration. (other than just bogging you down with it on)

Doesn't bogging you down mean little less responsive off the line. If that's what you mean then that directly affects acceleration. I agree though, VDC on will not make it feel like a slow POS but every little tick on the clock can't hurt right.

 

yea....but (and i havn't tried it but i'm just assuming it's the same as traction control on a mustang) if you bog you arn't going anywhere

You got that right, you'll be going no where in a hurry.

 

It all depends. On a wet street with VDC on you can move quite briskly, instead of spinning wheels and sliding around. Especially making a turn from a stop.
