I looked around for both and some ppl are selling their 2300s and 5500s for like $500 and $1000 respectably because logitech dont make em no more and the look of the new line looks like ____

I have had those since '07 and they have been phenomenal ever since. The only thing that has deteriorated with age has been the brightness of the backlight on the control center. Not a huge deal...those have been one of my favorite tech purchases of all time.

Alright,
stock the car has 300hp/300tq, this one came with a Performance Edition package which cant be found online. Its cost $500 and adds black outline to the grille and 30hp
so tc has torque 57ft-lbs per 1000lbs
and bwm has 78lbs per 1000lbs
big difference but its not as mind blowing as it looks, power delievery is faster/better than scion but the lag is still there. Shifts obvi are smooth but then using paddles it gets jittery at times.
Steering is way too heavy! i know for some it means better feeling of the road but having been used to tc's super easy steering it is plain unacceptable to me.
also the cabin is way too small. i can barely fit in the back. Middle back seat is non existent due to transmission bulging up....so you can barely climb from left back seat to the right.
the car is not as quiet as ppl say, plenty of road noise and wind noise.
Suspension is not as comfy as I expected either. on bumps feels like on stock TC springs.
soooo id summarize it as may be $30k-35k car.....ok add 2k for all wheel drive and another 1k for 50k miles free maintenance. the car is designed for ppl 5'9" and shorter.....
