I fell into a 2000 C70 CV, 5spd, HT, which is like a T5 I understand... The car is fine, that is, average shape with no flaws to speak of or issues to address.
So, the problem is I don't like the way it rides, feels, or I don't know.... Just it is a disappointing ride all the way around. I am a long time Red Block fan but I want to give this thing a chance. I regularly also drive a '01 Passat 1.8, and a '99 Saab 9-3 HP, both with sticks, both cars I like a lot and much better than this C70. What am I missing?

If you don't like it, I will be in the Pacific Northwest late June and will be happy to take it back to Minnesota, free of charge!

As to your "limp ride", what is it you don't like? If the suspension is too soft, get new struts and shocks. If the turbo doesn't spool up enough, you may have vacuum problems or a boost solenoid that is slow to respond.

Yeah, the suspension is soft, may be you are right about shocks, etc. The turbo is fine, no problems I can see.
The car is in San Diego, and I need $3,500 for it. Can send you more info if you're interested.
