We actually test drove (sort of) the $97 without the tach, but when we went back to pick one out and sign the papers with my parents, they didn't have any pleb-spec left, and the $99 one was the cheapest one they had.When you break the costs down like that, I'm sure many people would save the $2 and just go with the poverty cluster. Most people including me are blissfully unaware that each and every "standard item" in our cars add to the monthly payment. And at least I like it that way.
And I say "sort of" because my mom test drove it for me since I had never driven a manual in the winter, and this was February in Wisconsin. On our way home from the dealership, we went back to the grocery store we both worked at so she could finish her shift, and another co-worker re-taught me how to drive stick in the parking lot, during a snowstorm.
