Last manual I had was my new Datsun 240Z, which I drove weekends to court my wife two hours away for several months. Interstate all the way except last two miles stop-and-go, with movement about a car length plus in-between goes. Realized I'd had no joy from the transmission on Interstate and complete frustration after. Manual/Sport+ is a joy no matter what IMO. Just preference.
First wash after 5 months of ownership, a bit overdue but it makes the purchase feel so much better. Definitely the best sounding engine I've ever owned.
I am pretty Meh on the '26 Inspirations. Even kinda Meh on these first 2 pics.
Then I saw the 3rd pic.
Ok. That's Pretty Nice.
I feel about the Inspirations like I do about $40,000+ Sunbeam Tigers. ( I've had 2 of them.)
I wouldn't own (another) one.
