The one I drove was $16,800 and it was a SpecV with the moonroof package. The base (SE-R) models are probably at least a grand less. I don't think you can get more car for the money as far as new cars goes. 175hp, 180lb-ft torque, 6 speed, continuously variable intake, tubular exhaust manifold, limited slip diff, front and rear sway bars, front strut bar...the list goes on.
