LS is my daily driver, it has exceeded my expectations. With the stick it is fun to drive.
Got the LS because none of the factory options appealed to me and I have always gotten base (or very near base) in any new car I have purchased because of the value for the dollars. Usually the base model has all the same important stuff as the tricked out models; engine, drive train, chassis, etc. But of all the base cars I have purchased over the years, this one is by far the most capable and full-featured
To the LS I have added the things I wanted - so far hockey/hood stripes, Flowmaster Axle back exhaust, a Stent locking gas cap, and billet trim around the reverse lights. And I just got a Barton shifter that I am getting installed next week. I really wanted a white shift ball and waited till they were available for the Barton. For the first time since I got it I haven't got a "next mod" in mind (I like the steelies) but I have my eyes open and this forum is a great source of ideas.
I would get the gauge pack if it was about half its current price. Every time I get the idea I am interested I look at the price and pass.
I would have liked black, but for a daily driver I knew it would be too hard to keep clean. The silver is as easy as it gets to clean, I keep it thoroughly waxed and during the week, when I get home I take off the dust in less than a minute with a California duster and it looks just washed. The dust just slides off the wax.
Haven't got the gas mileage I was hoping for, but then again I haven't kept the RPM's down, the car wants to be driven :-).
Good luck in your purchase and have fun.
