Thanks for the responses guys! I have heard mixed things about driving the terminator and its ride quality, I assume it has to be pretty good right?

Ya that'd be me! I have had mine for 14 months now and have put 16k miles on it in that time. I have no problem with the ride day in and day out. It's more comfortable than my Trans Am, actually. And it sits a little higher as well, so that's better for my old man back, getting in and out. Plus, I figure if you gotta drive to work 5 days a week, you might as well have fun doing it...

you might as well have fun doing it... I only have a v6 but I love driving my car. Driving it responsibly and just cruising is one of the highlights of my day everyday. The reason why I ask if the Termi is a good ride is because I have heard mixed things and I always considered one later down the road.

I know exactly what you mean! Driving is pure zen to me. After a bad day, all I have to do is drive somewhere, anywhere, to feel better.

I drive mine every day, and also to and from the track. If i wanted a gas saver i wouldnt have bought it, i wanted something to keep the blood pumping at any given moment.
