<DIV>I'm 6 feet tall and it's pretty comfortable for me. Right now I have a 1998
and a 2002. I would guess you would spend around $4000-$6000 for an
'02 right now. My 98 is a 5-speed and the 2002 is an automatic. Needless to
say the 5-speed does slightly better on gas. There are 2 of the "S" series
models to choose from - the SL1 and SL2. The SL1 is a single overhead cam and
I've gotten 44 mpg with one of those. The SL2 is a twin cam engine and I've done
about 38-40 mpg with those. Another feature I love is the polymer body panels -
no rust. </DIV>
