Solid coupe

Solid sporty coupe, had it for almost six years now and the only maintenance I've had to perform is changing fluids, tires, etc. It doesn't have massive amounts of power but with a manual it's possible to extract decent performance out of the base GT engine. Turning is superb; the car handles like it's on a track. The handling compares favorably to a Cooper S and is comparable to a Miata.

I was undecided if I wanted the GT or the GT-S. I am glad I chose the GT... however, get the 5-speed. The automatic is too slow. If you plan on putting a lot of mods on the car, then get the GT-S. But the powerband on both cars under 6500rpms is almost identical. The car looks great, and is very fun to drive. Taking corners is extremely fun.

I fell in love with the car before I even sat in one to test drive it. I did online research about every aspect of this car. I still went in to the dealership with an open mind. This car... WOW!

I would recommend buying the GT-S version. It has more pep and great to drive. The GT version is good for the slower driver in mind.

I like this car, because of its handling and usability. Yeah, it's not a true sport car (no RWD or even LSD), but it is relatively fast, very fun in twisty mountain roads, and autoX. It has good MPG and a lot of space in the trunk, too. So, I'd recommend this car to anyone who wants good performance and usability (not for family though).
