I have to buy a boring car.

I’m thinking of doing just that and dealing with a boring car and putting the extra money into my bank account for the dart. I have three more weeks to make this decision so I’ll just shop around and actually drive a few cars.
1000 mile per week is a lot of seat time. You want something that is comfortable and quiet.

Exactly the reason I chose the 300C. After a few hours behind the wheel, I don’t arrive home exhausted from being beat up by the road.
