Back in September I posted about being approached by an automotive writer that wanted to do a write up on my Excel. Story (and video) is out today. I think he did a pretty good job. Only error I noticed is him saying that it has a 6 speed, not sure where he got that idea? I always feel like I look and sound goofy when I see video of myself, but I guess this came out alright.

Re: Excel gets some newspaper ink in the US.
Nice article although it was a little unfair saying that the rear seats were suitable for little kids only. I could fit in my rear seat with the front seat only a bit forwards from where I would have it for driving. Anyway, it's good to get the word out there.
What car is that?

Re: Excel gets some newspaper ink in the US.
Sorry, Trevor! No offense intended. With the seat adjusted for me, there is about 2 inches of leg room in back. When my son drives it, the front seat touches the back seat! Honestly, I haven't even tried to get in the back seat myself.

Thanks, guys- the car is in decent condition, but it certainly looks better in pictures than it does in real life!

That's a really nice video, both you & the car come across very well.
