Has the same transmission, engine... everything short of the wide body fenders. I hope to hold onto this car for years to come, its pure driving pleasure., , -The Good., , Though its not the fastest car out there, with a 0-60 speed of 7.5 seconds, it more than makes up for its braking peformance and ability to handle even the most twisted roads all at high speeds, with a slight (very slight) hint of understeer., , Though quick, its not overpowered, a great first car. Its very neutral in its handling, a 48/52 weight distribution keeps the car in contact with the road at all times. You need to seriously try, and have poor tires in order to get them to break lose., , Its interior looks like a 80's sports car. Everything is laid out very neatly and organized, no clutter, no fumbling for any switches, no need to take your eyes off the road., , Seats are comfortable even after 4-5 hour drives, although could use a little better lumbar support., , A surprising amount of cargo space available., , Engines are not as complicated as you may think . Own one if you can, call (954) 263-4199
