I thought the shifter on the 08 was really sloppy... the car would make a great DD with an auto trans, but that shifter was just terrible. I thought wind noise and tire noise were noticeably less than my '00. It was very quiet, NVH was minimal. Fit and finish were nice. I liked the sporty black gauges, they were pretty cool. And the mileage counter seemed nice. Seats were comfy, and the steering wheel felt good. The engine felt adequate enough, but I disliked the electronic throttle.... it felt.... vague I guess. I couldn't really get on it though, the saleslady took me on some low speed back roads. TONS of body roll... and I mean TONS.

I mean I drove a base model S coupe, so that might have had something to do with it. But I wouldn't buy the thing. I disliked the interior, and thought it was not very functional. The radio buttons were a bit hard to use, and everything seemed slapped on as far as the center console goes. The one I drove didn't have the stupid chrome applique on the side, but I still thought the overall design was pieced together instead of flowing.
