The car is very fun to drive, the turbo is great for mid range power in any gear. Exterior is agressive, the best looking vehicle under $40,000 in my opinion. Interior design is driver oriented,easy to use HVAC, my only complaint would be that a leather wrapped steering wheel is an option instead of standard. Car has been very reliable, no major problems. Just keep performing preventive maintenance and change the oil every 3k miles and it will give no problems. Excellent car!.

a poorly designed car

This car is one of the worst cars I have ever owned. The seats are uncomfortable, no lumbar support,no support under your legs, no knee room under the steering wheel. It rides rough, which should not be confused with a stiff sport suspension, which this car does NOT have. It handles miserably, all the turbo power goes to the left front wheel, pulling the car all over the road when the driver accelerates, especially on uneven pavment. On corners the car behaves unpredictably. In short, it is not a sports car. It is a dressed up econo car.
