I have to agree...they were definately built for handling....and they did a stand up job doing...

Ya, my brothers gf has a gt and they are pretty small.....not to mention how many blind spots there are. But i do have to say, you really feel like you are in a cockpit when you drive one.

as far as the VVTL-i goes(the GTS engine), I totally agree, small *** rev range where it's in lift. The 2002's had a really low rev limiter, 7800 i think, but the other 3 years so far have had it set at 8200 rpm, so you actually can stay in it for a bit longer than redline. I do, however, hear that hitting lift in a VVTL-i is like a kick in the *** 
I wouldn't buy a GTS, too much extra $$$ for 40 more hp and 4 wheel disk brakes. I would however consider a GT... this one guy's 99% close to finishing off a turbo for it

lease: I KNOW the GT has front disk and rear drum. I said, I didn't think the additional $4,000 for a GTS justified adding 40hp and rear disk brakes. I hear braking in both trims is outstanding so I didn't feel the need for the GTS brakes.
