Test drove '11 Turbo

OK, so I've now test driven the entire line-up. The Turbo sells itself. It was pretty much what I expected, so finally getting to get behind the wheel cemented the deal.

Looks like a Feb build and April delivery. Great...just in time for taxes!

Now just final color choices!

1. You are lucky you found an open allocation.
2. You are in for a treat. The Turbo is freakin' awesome by any measure.

Congrats!

Hard enough to just get a test drive, not many of these around. Luckily car show in our area coming up so the dealer got one for the show. Having never driven one, I was hesitant to spend that kind of $ sight unseen.

Pedah3, I hear ya. Last time I was at Barrier, they had one CTT and three people waiting inside to test drive it. Luckily I wanted to test drive the CS and did it without a wait. When I got down and was checking the details of the vehicle I could feel the heat (although I was not pressurized by the sales person) knowing that a few people were aiting to test drive the CS inside. I am also headed to the auto show on Quest field this weekend.

Has anyone else noticed the steering?? That 'servotronic' (variable speed assist) steering is standard now. It lacks feel and is over assisted IMO. When I got my GTS I specifically looked for one without it after driving both back to back.

Just ordered mine today too, Turbo S with just about every worth-it-option. Total was around 130,000 w/o taxes and all that crap.

Will post build tomorrow, very similar to the one in a thread I started earlier.

January build, 4% off, in Illinois.
