Nope, my insurance went down. I had a 2008 Tiburon GT and was paying $166 a month. Because this car has side-airbags, traction control, and other safety features, my premium was knocked down to $140 a month.

I think they look best in brighter, bolder colors. If your gonna have a car that sweet, why not turn heads?

dunno, I'm just not a fan of yellow/orange paint jobs on cars. even bright red is not really my thing. tbh the only colour I really like is black :/

I got the automatic simply because i'm not a very experianced with manual to begin with. I wouldn't be able to do manual with a car like this. It's a beast. That said, the 6 speed automatic on the Track trim is the performance one. It's lighter weight, shifts faster, and well, it is a 6 speed automatic. I haven't noticed any of the 'lag' that you usually experiance with an automatic - And having the paddle shifters is kickass. Even someone with tons of experiance driving stick wouldn't be able to get much better numbers on the track anyways.
I like the yellow color. It's only available on the track trim, and with the black leather interior it works perfectly. The red brembo calipers set it off even more.
The only thing i've been thinking about doing with the exterior is actually taking off the spoiler. I like how clean the car looks without it, and while it is something unique to the track trim - I just think the car could look better without it.
One thing I love is how the car has the traction control system. It's on by default, and you can turn it off. When it's on, you can put the pedal to the floor and the thing makes sure the rear wheels don't spin out by actually reducing the engine power and / or applying brakes to the appropriate wheel. Of course, if you do want to burn out and have more control when on the track you just turn it off.

No, don't remove the spoiler, it'll just look like a cheaper Audi TT. :/
A good spoiler adds a sting to the look, a poor spoiler makes the whole thing look shabby. Your spoiler is perfect for that car, low profile cool looking.

Have you not kept up with cars for a while LoL? 99% of cars come with traction control standard now a days. And since most cars use Drive by wire (junk) it makes it pretty simple to electronically cut throttle but more often then not I've found it to hinder safe driving in slippery conditions.
I dunno about that thing being a "Beast" but it's basically as fast as the 350Z's/G35's that have been out for the past 5-6 years. Damn man you should have gotten the 4 Cylinder turbo, cheaper/lighter and a ton more potential as demonstrated by tuners. Are those available yet?
Otherwise Hyundai's come a long way. First with the Genesis Sedan and now this which has gotten favorable reviews given the price. Although it will be a few years until it's refined enough to truly compare to the G37/Etc as it's still a little rough around the edges.

A car should have German engineering, Italian design, English style. Aston Martin by Zagato for instance.
