Drove home from Bronxville, NY where we visited my younger daughter's family. Trip was done in my wife's 2002 Base. I have to say that there is less difference between this and my 2004 S than I expected. The base bogs down if you floor the throttle between 2K and 2.5K RPM, but if you keep the revs up it is as much fun as the S. I do miss having the 6 speed transmission. 5th with the 6 speed is perfect for country roads, but with the 5 speed you have to shift a lot between 4th and 5th.
