I can't believe this thread hasn't flushed out "Real 1" yet....
Honestly, everything the guys have said (almost) is true. Do your homework and DRIVE a couple if you can. It will all come to personal preference and comfort with your purchase. Every brand has the + and the -... If I add them up, my total would be different than yours. In short, there is no one here (almost) that will give you the perfect answer to make you sleep at night. And, once you've decided, the same applies to your engine, trans etc.
One thing I can assure you though, is that you will always have questions and you will always be doing something new and working on your car. That part never ends, and that part is also some of the fun that comes with owning one of these.
It's also what we're here for.....
