I'm thinking this would be a good alternative to a Mazdaspeed 3, a car I often think about getting. The Chevy has a turbocharged inline four cylinder, manual five speed transmission, a no lift shift feature, and a drag race start feature. It also gets 29 mpg on the highway. Also the panel version looks really cool, except has been discontinued for 2010. No matter, I would buy it used anyway. I'll keep an eye out for one on Autotrader and Carmax, then decide not to buy one because I already have two cars...
