What a load of crap! Are your eyes brown?
I’ve owned mine for a decade and have spent around $2k total in that time, not per year.

You’re 0 for 2! Are you trying to beat out lkchris?

It’s humanly impossible to perceive the difference in acceleration time between the two. Any perceived difference is all in your head. I’ve driven lots of both, and can say that a well maintained base will outperform a poorly maintained “S” all day, especially with the 5 speed tranny.
Suck it.

So, in that decade you went through at most 2 sets of brakes and tires? Have you factored in oil/coolant/brake fluid changes?

I guess maintenance costs could be zero if it's never driven.
