It was a great car. Handling was superb. Power was adequate for its size. I drove the car as my daily for about 3 years. The car was very tight and was a blast to drive in the twisties. The only complaint I had was that I absolutely HATED the clutch. Shifter was great, but the clutch grabbed so high and was almost unpredictable. That's just me though...

Must've had a 2006 m/y then? Or very early 2007 build. Don't recall when the revision was made. There was TSB for the clutch as well. I agree...took some getting use to. Except your really couldn't ever get use to it. Lol! I'm missing mine lately. It was a fun car.

Yes!!! That's exactly how it felt. And it was a 2006. Besides the clutch it was a great car. Managed to keep it bone stock. Bit I also had a 700hp twin turbo C6 at the time so...

EPIC FAIL!

The dealer I drove to today (an hour each way) who had 3 2014 Titaniums in stock (silver/grey/white) had them all in FWD! I'm a friggin bonehead. I knew the prices were too low to be right.

Now my local dealer has a 2013 Titanium AWD, 30k miles, but it's in Bordeaux Reserve, which is the ONE and only color I don't like on the car!!!!

Got him down to $20k, and I'd buy it today if it was any color but that. What should I do???

ZSHO · March 01, 2015, 07:23:29 AM

If its going to be used as a DD you will probably get used to it,the good part is the dealer is close by so essentially any kind of routine service needed thats a plus,tell the salesman to knock off 500.00 cause you hate the color,maybe then you will start to like it,good luck and and always feel free to ask whatever thats on your mind.Z.

Be patient, if there's ever a time, this is it. Definitely don't want to make a large purchase on something like a vehicle that's a color you don't want. I could see buying one missing a feature or 2, but color, that's a hard one to swallow.

I apologize just woke up,tell him 19k and then attempt to shake his hand!!

Mors Mangone · March 01, 2015, 08:04:57 AM

The car was $21,800... I got him down $1800 for the color!!!

Idk... AWD Titaniums are scarce here (weird because it should be the opposite). It's equipped the exact way I want, everything except driver assist pkg., and it's priced right. If I can just overcome the color issue.

I think the BR is the least attractive color on the car. But lowered, tinted, with the Lighting Firm HIDs and some bronze wheels... It could agree with me.

I'm gonna look again online today and see if there is anything else in the state. I do need to move somewhat fast tho.

SHOnUup · March 01, 2015, 08:11:01 AM

Sounds as if the color isn't to bad. I'm not familiar with the BR color, but it seems you have found a way to work with it. With that said.....go get that thing!

SHOdded · March 01, 2015, 09:05:51 AM

Go for it! I don't think you will be staring at the color while getting on the GO pedal
