The front bumper has some spider cracking on it and one of the clips that hold it onto the fender is broken. It also needed front rotors since one is warped. But besides that it runs and drives great. I'm going to clean the throttle bodies and change every fluid anyway since it's near 60k miles and it doesn't hurt to have fresh fluid lol

I also noticed the front dashboard ... the plastic is super soft, especially when it gets roasted by the sun on summer days ... when I take my sun reflector off, it's made some scratch marks. That has never happened on any other car I've had ...

Motor has been solid. Just fluid changes and nothing mechanical has gone wrong (knock on wood). The OEM Akebono brakes are surprisingly short lived ... I got about 40k miles for all 4 ... I have about 86k miles so I've switched them twice. They are expensive (almost $1700 to do the brake job at the dealership). And with my grandma driving, I average about 19.7 mpg of 70 / 30 city / highway driving. (I try to get 93 octane gas from either Costco or Shell). If pure highway driving ... it's over 24 mpg.

Good luck with your search, OP. All I know is my 6MT might have appreciated a little now that 6MT is a dying breed. Either I step up to a Corvette, Porsche or Aston Martin ... few manufacturers are making manual transmission cars (and no to the Miata, BRZ or Nissan Z...).

It comes with the chrome lip by default. The color matched spoiler is an "add-on".

They are a roadster and simpler so they do not offer the performance, luxury and convenience that our G coupes do. My preferred coupe is the Honda S-2000.
Having said all of that, I like my 6MT far better.
