Same here. I've had both 4 door and 2 door models, and I like the bigger view you get with the 2 door.

The red SE is officially gone and sold.

Yesterday, I found a decent deal on this 2010 that came into my buddies dealer. 5 speed/cruise control/power stuff/keyless, my favorite option group. Should be a good long term backup car.


Also, my main car is at 333k and still doing great.


I picked up a 2008 car for $1200 with really high mileage, hopefully that will transition into one of my drivers main vehicle.

My red 2012 I bought in October, that's the one I finally sold.

I still have my red 2 door. It's being driven by one of my drivers right now.

Current line up
2011 4 door - silver / 5 speed / cruise, keyless, power stuff etc, 334k miles, my main driver
2010 2 door - black / 5 speed / cruise, keyless, power stuff, 96k miles, my backup driver
2008 2 door - silver / auto / base as they come, 333k miles, random junker I bought for $1200
2007 2 door - red / 5 speed / power window locks, no cruise no keyless, 177k miles, currently being driven by a temporary driver on one of my routes.

I might have a problem lol.

With these cars, I imagine you have very few problems.

Your main 4-door looks fantastic. Hard to believe it has so many miles on it. Sunset is the best time for car pictures.

Cleaned up my main car and snapped a quick pic. 335k miles and still cleans up alright

[CincyC6]

Adjusted some of my driving habits and managed to squeeze 39.3mpg out of my last tank. Trying to drag it up to 40, pretty happy with that considering the 338k miles

Just wondering why you sold your 2012 se?

So, the main reason was I felt like it was too much money tied up in a backup car that will just depreciate.

But the big thing, is it felt worse at everything. Worse turn radius, gas mileage, slower, the seats were uncomfortable on long drives, I missed having the dome light overhead, also I watch an iPad while driving, and put it behind the steering wheel. The '12 hadn't no place for it. It was also bumpier

It had much better curb appeal and the build qualify felt a touch better, but overall those things were enough to not enjoy driving it.

Why's the iPad for while driving ? Nothing but GPS or navigation purpose I hope ?

I'm glad you're safe, and I know I'm new here and don't want to possibly victim blame but I need to point out...

I hope this has nothing to do with your accident.
