Why couldn't you "really drive it"? When I test drive a vehicle I tend to scare the living shit out of the sales person who rides with me. If I am going to own it then I want to know if it drives the way I do or if I have to fight it all the time.

yep im pretty much certain that a manual transmission would've made the car more enjoyable.

it steered nice, it rode nice but lacked something in the drivetrain dept.

i wonder what i/h/e and a chip would do for that Kompressor
