I bought this in Paris Kentucky. I manage a store there and just towed it home today. Looking under it looks pretty good. That couple hours south gives people accents and the vehicles age a bit better.

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. |

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. |

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

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. |

That is cool. Thanks for the explanation. My 07 felt way inferior to my 12. I honestly wouldn't drive a non SE myself, unless it was a gazoo.

I wish I could have bought that SE. That thing was sweet. But I kind of have a thing for that bright red paint color as it matches my Shadow haha

The '11's and older have a economy car/basic junk vibe to them, but I've gotten accustomed to that lol
