Anyone ever have buyer's remorse?

You bought a fun car. But fun car is not what you need always, and not a car for long term for sure. Looks like you'd like a car that has more of balance between performance and luxury.

My point is, never buy a car on specs. Buy a car you know you can live with.

Good point. I did this with the ST when I wanted the GTI all along. I should have known better being a VW/Audi fanboy. Lesson learned.

Yep, exactly this. I'm going to go look at a 2015 A3 (aka Audi's Jetta) this weekend... just because but... I'm looking to sell my ST soon. I just can't see myself in this for much longer.

Which are not real Recaro's anyways. They are beefed up Ford Focus seats with Recaro's labels on them. I wish they got ride of the stupid beefed up padded areas on the seat cushions and put in real adjustable seat. Other than the seats it's a fun car.

I admit, for the first couple of months I was worried that they were going to be too tight, but they've broken in nicely and I absolutely love them. My sons often rack themselves on the high thigh bolsters but they'll learn eventually They do tilt back a bit too far but I'm used to it now.

My son will be traveling all over the country for baseball tournaments this summer so I'll likely be taking 9+ hour road trips several times. The longest I've driven in them so far is about 5 hours.

Accord Sport 6mt..look forward to driving it every day. 1st real stick car, motivated to get better at it. I only miss my Fit when street parking. Lol

I used to when I was an idiot and switched cars like most people (every 2-3 years).

I haven't had buyers remorse in over 13 years now. All of my cars are that age and I'm driving them until they are no long worth keeping.

Nothing more beautiful than a car that has no car payment....

My only regret with buying a new car is having to talk to a car dealer that tries to make you think that you are getting the best deal possible.

Anyway, never had any regrets with any car. With my last one, I didn't even care. The whole "new cool" factor is a non issue once you get to my age.

I'm imagining a Corvette trade in on a P1 and chuckling to myself.

Nothing so exotic. Just a Z06.

By the time I saved enough for a P1, they would long since have stopped making them

It's hard to go from a German to an American car too...those Germans really know how to make great interiors.

Oh, they already stopped making them and all of them were sold prior to even starting manufacturing I think.

I just enjoyed the mental image of that trade up.
