As I mentioned above, my SO has a Mazda3 Sport. From what I've read and what I've felt in the passenger seat, it should be a decent enough drive.

I like this last one. I think that might be my biggest motivator. Right now it's as though I have been ignoring the fact that "my wings are no longer clipped." I no longer have to rely on walking, bicycling, taking public transit, or inconveniencing someone by asking for a ride. My SO told me months ago that if I wanted to just take the car and go, I could. I haven't done this yet.
