its a very female friendly car, as RWD goes its very user friendly and a good beginners car.
lots of the male owners on here may try to convince you its a mans car, but i think its a ladies car.
we have a large group of female members on here and i think that is testiment to its popularity with the ladies.
yes the gear box is a bit stiff, but think of it like a bolt action rifle. the clutch is a little heavy, but you get used to it quickly.
