Yea definitely! I just wish I had lived somewhere where I could actually have two cars... And not in an overcrowded SF :-P
What it ultimately comes down to is this - the TI is one of the last cars that was 'raw' - and I am really happy I chose the S52 instead of the S54 in there. It has a bowdoin cable throttle thats directly connected to the pedal, the S52 traction control is incompatible with the TI, so that doesnt exist, and all it has of the modern amenities is an ABS system, and power assisted brakes, both of which are pretty useful for driving around in various conditions.
The bits I added on top of everything there were just my preference - decent audio system and best Bluetooth integrated headunit for under $1000
