First car I learned to drive in, was my Grandfathers whom I loved to death. Was going to be a present to me because he knew I was finally ready for it and knew I would be able to take care of it and afford it, he passed away a year before he could give it to me so I inherited it. I love my car to death, its the closest thing I have to my Grandfather. I feel like he is with me when I am in my car, when I see my car. It still smells the way it did when he had it, which is weird since I had it for a little over a year now...I should just be getting used to my car now if he couldve just stuck around a little longer. I rather it be given to me by him with a big bow then the way I recieved it. =(

I like my ti because it is only 2700lb light weight and can corner at high speed with the sticky tires. I also like the brotherhood of other ti owners on the road when they smile and wave at you, seeing you driving a ti.

Absolutely......
Small, great for parking in the city.....but large trunk with the rear seats down.
Gets 30Mpg on the highway
Ummm peppy enough......could use just a little bit more power and torque
Awesome handling, now that I've upgraded the shocks, sticky tires and great wheels
Excellent sporty looks.
it's german (My previous cars have been Audis and VWs).
