I actually bought my '08 LGT a month ago, solely because I needed a car in which I could safely transport my daughter (my other option is a '91 240SX), but I also wanted a car that'd be fun for me to drive when she isn't a passenger. When she's in the car, Intelligent mode. When she's not? Sport!
Granted, mine is completely stock, as most of my mod dollars go to the 240, but I LOVE having a car that makes an otherwise boring commute to work a little more fun. Just my $0.02.
btw, congrats on the second on the way!
