We decided upon the 304HP V6 coupled to the auto/manual shift 6-speed trans. The package is very responsive and we are exceedingly satisfied with the available power of this model.
The handling of the 2LT/RS is quite responsive and requires that the driver remain focused at all times. The steering is quick and precise, with the compliant suspension handling road imperfections smoothly. Basically, the car goes where you point it...
Everything is logically laid out and the ergonomics are quite intuitive. The paddle shifters on the steering wheel are properly placed and quite useful. The ambient interior lighting is a nice touch at night.
