General comments?

This car was fun to drive, but a bit finicky at times. Very particular on the brand of gas, as well as the temperature, for smooth performance.

Ride of the car was very stiff, long drives are uncomfortable. I wished the cloth seats were more comfortable. Those claustrophobic need not apply. But this is a sporty car, do this is to be expected.

Handling and braking were good, not great. You'll need to invest in aftermarket wheels and tires for greater handling capabilities. The steering was a bit vague, and I wished it was tighter for a performance oriented car.

I was a little disappointed in the fit and finish. Lots of squeeks and rattles from the inside, mostly coming from the dash. Interior materials are a little on the cheap side. Blind spots galore.

Beware of crankwalk problems on 2G DSMs. Make sure the recalls have been performed.

All in all, a fun car. But I needed something quieter and more practical.
