The shift linkage on our test car was pretty stiff, and it was easy to select the wrong gear because of the narrow shift pattern. If there's any downside to the GS-R, it would be that its overall gearing is low and that keeps the engine spinning pretty hard at 70 mph. It relishes twisty highways, where it can strut its stuff. The sports suspension has excellent road feel and lets the driver know what the car is doing at all times. The GS-R is not all performance.
Comfort is an issue, as well.
The seats, which have a wide range of adjustment to accommodate various size drivers, have large side bolsters to hold occupants in place during vigorous driving. The instrument panel has gauges that are easy to read at a glance. Cupholders pull out from the dash and were not as substantial as some in newer models. The back seat is small, as one would expect in a sport coupe, but it folds forward. Warranty Four years or 50,000 miles.
