About to buy IPL

So i've pretty much made up my mind and i'm going to get rid of my Mazda 3S Hatchback for the IPL G Coupe.... How do you all like it? I've heard it rides kinda hard due to the suspension tightening and such. Should I get it? I'd get Black with Red Interior of course

Well I am not too sure... The great thing about the IPL is that it already has a lot of changes/additions that I would put in my car. I do plan on tinting the windows pretty much as i drive off the lot. I'm not to sure about what mods I would want to do to it. Any suggestions?

IPL is a good car if your not going to mod it. I don't think you could do anything looks wise.. Stock rims are already too nice to change and so is the bumper kit and all.

I'm thinking a Tint and possible painting the calipers... that's all i can honestly say looks wise... As for the engine, I don't want to modify it too much because it's already got a lot going for it. I'm so excited about getting it. Initially i was going to get a Hyundai Genesis Coupe Track, but I decided to go with this instead.

IPL needs a drop for sure! other then that I would agree if you are not planning on modding it then that will be your best choice. Other then that I agree that you would be pretty set looks wise. Possibly some spacer on the wheels but I like the look of the IPL wheels a lot.

You gotta be careful with a drop tho, you can easly mess up the front bumper on a parking curb

I love my IPL! Are u planning to get auto or 6MT? If im not mistaken i believe only the auto comes with red interior. Don't be afraid to haggle for a good price because IPL's are not selling as well as they expected. I love my IPL and im sure you will too!

I drive mainly in the city with lots of traffic i don't want to have to deal with the hassle of a manual even tho it would be fun. How much do you think I could haggle them down to? I can't wait it's a huge upgrade from a Mazda 3 Hatchback!
