Very interesting article. One of the very few that comments on the automatic transmission with quite favourable results. The automatic even gets better gas mileage.

What an incredibly ignorant review. It's a sports car, yet they rate the ride quality as a "3". Same goes for room and comfort rating as "3". That makes no sense to me at all.

For their rating system to mean anything, they need to rate those criteria "in class". In other words, rate the ride quality within the sports/GT car class. What good is it rating the ride quality against a Cadillac? As it is, they've lumped together every vehicle--makes no sense.

I agree with nostatic. Even though some of the reviews were encouraging other seems a bit naive. I'd much prefer the reviews from C&D.

they gave the cargo room a "1" i wonder what they gave the Z in that category? and it seems that nobody opened the pass thru for them and they couldn't find it on their own:o
