The body style of the 2009 is better than the 2011, the lines flow better. The outside is certainly better than the 2001 I traded in.
The V^ has 70 horsepower more than the 2001 GT that I traded. The powerband is smooth and the transmission shifts great. The car has the power to blend into traffic on a highway, and yet the MPG is better than the 2001 GT.
