Handles great, and for what I paid for a new car I think the seats are awesome.

Driving it in the winter on good snow tires (and not feeling at all like I'm going to die every 5 seconds) is a special kind of fun.

Unexpectedly getting 40mpg highway out of pricey high octane fuel is a pretty nice thing, too. At least now I know it can be done.

Love that it corners like it's on rails (that's with the prius tires).

Love the fast AT, floor it, 1 second later you're at 6500 rpm and the engine is howling like a banshee!

Love the factory seats that hold you like shrek gripping a turkey leg.

You beat me to it, the seats seem like they were made for me. And the sitting position it and the car provides is amazing.

I do love the AT on this car as well. The rev matching and that you can use the paddle/stick shifter without going into Manual mode. Downshifting on demand.

Definitely my favorite thing. After my last car I just cringed at all the turbo 4 owners being happy barely able to get 20 mpg, I just couldn't take that hit.

Oh and seemingly influencing several people where I live to buy one.

I love 68 day!

I like it because non-car enthusiast think it's a SUPRA

I love that we have our own day.

I know it receives a lot of criticism but I like the sound of the engine as it climbs through the rpms. I started driving with the rear seats folder down and it is like I bought a new exhaust.

This car made for me.

Definitely. I was cross-shopping with EVO 8/9; and even though an Evo would have been faster, it's always a big gamble on reliability on used Evos. Especially needing it for DD purposes.
