At first, no. But I've since come around to them, and am really liking the look. I saw a few that were put together for SEMA (I think a Mugen one in there, too), and they really appealed to me.

I'd be interested to drive one, however. That could probably push me one way or the other pretty quickly.

I really like the way they look, too. They're definitely head-turners. I see more camaro's and corvette's in my town than cr-z's! I'm also liking the low prices for used ones!

There's a black CVT one at a dealer 2 miles from my house. I want to test drive it tomorrow, even though I wont be in the market for 2 more years... It'll be a tease, but worth it xD

Skip the CVT. Even after all these years, I still don't feel like any manufacturer has dialed them in. They seem like such a great idea on paper, but are just awful drivers in the physical world.

Well, I don't know how to drive a manual. Nor do I know anyone who has one to practice with. Like they'd want to risk me breaking their transmission anyway...

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo buy a cheap manual car and hop in! Gotta learn somehow! Once you learn, you will hate your automatic and feel like you are going to fall asleep since it is boring and mind-numbing.

No super cheap manuals on my local craiglist :/ I hope to learn someday... I'll keep my eye out for a $300 beater.

I've been seeing more and more of them lately. I definitely won't mind having one. Love the front end not so much the rear but can be modded to look good. So far seems like the black, white, and red are my favorite

I like the blue and silver.
The back end IS funky looking... What do you think of it with the spoiler?
