70 mph in city limits?? I could lose the right to drive a car for a whole month for that! Police is pretty strict around here, plus they dont really like HotHatches and sport cars so much :P
But then again, if I want to "cruise" i put on the radar detector and bon voyage
And about the 3000 RPM shifting: they explained me that if I always drive a sport car like this the engine becomes "lazy", plus I could have to go to the service several times a year to clean up the injectors.
And admit it, you gotta love the sound it does at 8000 RPM!
