Don't have the V, just an STS. Even with the standard North star, the car is very satisfying and crazy comfortable. I have only had minor warranty issues. As a whole, a very satisfying car to own.

Look up D2 STS-V's....

I say go for it, think about the car's price new vs. what it is now!

They are so nice to drive...
