It was a great day (sunny, 80 degrees) to pick up our new Passion coupe. I placed my deposit on March 31, and configured the car (Blue/Black triton, beige interior, fogs, gauges, and p/s) on November 16th.
I'm glad I stayed on the list (as are my kids) and after putting 20 miles on it, am having a hard time understanding the things people (and the press) complain about. It's loads of fun and seems to have enough performance for most situations. I even did some back-road passing on the way home. I bought it as a toy, but know that it will get a lot more use than I planned.
I've already ordered new speakers, sound-deadening material, a horn, and an exhaust from Nick at Doug Thorley.
Also, thumbs up to John and Admir at smart center Hartford. They are great guys who have an interest in the car and not just selling cars, and it was a nice buying experience.
