I would not get this particular car. Three main reasons:

1. Black interior/exterior. This is going to be one *hot* car in the summer sun. A/C only does so much when you first get in. Consumes more fuel. Not my favorite color either.

2. No AWD. That's a deal killer, period. I won't own a vehicle without AWD or 4WD. Even in South Florida, they get rains that will make driving dangerous without it. I drove a friends rear wheel drive BMW down there, and almost ended up in the ditch for the flooding rain. You never know what the weather will bring. Better safe than crashed.

3. CVT tranny has notorious problems. You might get lucky, but.. why risk it? The Tiptronic shifter works well. You made a good choice to keep looking.

4. The price would only be right if these other problems didn't exist for this car. It's too high for a 2WD car, black on black.
