Let me share one of the odd items: Rain sensor seems to be very 'low sensitive'. Don't get me wrong - it works, only usually it turns on when the windshield is...

Hello Alfisti! I'm a newbie here and thinking of buying a GT and wanted to hear some owners experiences. So if any of you GT owners have a few minutes I'd love to hear what you have to say! Thanks

Here's my dilemma. I'm thinking of buying a GT and my preference would be a manual. Problem is, my wife can only drive an auto. My question is, is Selespeed a good system? I like to drive my cars quite hard but have found semi-automatic systems in other makes to be a hindrance rather than a help as...
