I just came back from the dealer.. had my first test drive today.. and I'm not happy.. not happy that I can't get an IS yet
On a more serious note, I wasn't too impressed with the e-shift.. I guess its just the whole idea of giving up the 5-speed for an automatic.. so my expectations for the e-shift were a little high.. but I loved the ride.. one thing I'd never be able to get used to is a boaty ride and the IS was far from that.. it was firm enough for me but gentle enough to take my grandmother to the store or something (in my Civic, everytime I hit a bump, my grandmother asked if there was something wrong as she reached for the "oh-sh*t" handle).. the power was nice, but I really don't have much to compare it to.. but with three guys in the car, it still pulled pretty good.. very impressive.. I must say, I think I would actually enjoy going to work just for the drive there and the thought of driving home in an IS..
Hey, I did get a brochure though.. I guess I should be happy about that..
Oh yeah.. and another thing I noticed for the first time, there's no keyhole on the passenger side.. I thought that was so.. weird or something.. but I guess you dont need it anyways..
