Personally, I am fan of the look of it. You don't get a guitar thrown in, either. Yes and no. There are plenty of cheaper funky cars which leave plenty of cash left over for a monster stereo. Pretty darn good. The brown stitching through the rest of the cabin ties it all together, too. With the 1. The official claimed fuel use is pretty low at 6.
