Hello Everyone ...This is my new to me Square. I've been on the hunt for 3 years... It's my first V8 (305) powered American car. I've only own it a month , and I can't stop driving it. It has 33k and is rattle and squeak free and has very little wind noise. It is bone stock save the 215/75/15 tires. The new process 833 overdrive combined with an ESC that is fully functioning lets it get up to 23mg on the highway and 17mpg on the commute which is well beyond what I hoped for. I got 14.5 mpg while I was horsing it around. It steers and handles like a sports car. My only knock on it is the seat was the worst seat that i ever sat in. I canted it back 2" inches and added a lumbar pad which made it a lot better but still not entirely there. Now my crotch is just below the steering wheel which is a little disconcerting. The other flaw is the clutch is ridiculously heavy... I think it may have gotten a heavy duty clutch in it recently. Also the front brakes lock a bit too easy, very touchy. But other than that it is a dream.
