Had the car for about 200 miles now. Love the car. Mine was the first SWP that I actually saw in person and I am so happy with the color choice. Overtime I am planning on going with the storm trooper look. Everything black on a white car. Originally I thought I was going to change out the wheels for something flat black, but seeing the stock wheels in person, I really like them. They fit the car so well.

Here are some of the things that stick in my mind that I like.
- The car is low, really low. I am 6' 1" and when I walk up to the car it looks like the whole thing sits below my waist. I love that. I have always been a huge fan of the Lotus Elise/Exige and I feel like this is the more practical alternative to the Lotus.

- Oh, that sound!!! The growl to this thing is addictive. Its not overly whiny or sharp sounding. Just a rumble that sounds like it means business.

- Suspension is firm but feels great. You really do feel connected to the road. The best I can compare it too is to a stiff carbon fiber racing bike. You feel every bump, but its never harsh.

- The car stays so flat. Haven't really pushed it too hard yet, but on some spirited corners and freeway ramps you really notice the lack of body roll.

- I get so many questions/compliments/looks with this car. This is all very new to me, but expected from what everyone is saying. Every time I go out either a couple guys on motorcycles or in corvettes/mustangs/porsches pull up next to me and give me a thumbs up or just stare at the car. Had one lady at the gas station ask to see the inside. She saw it was a stick and wanted to know if she could get one in automatic. She just kept looking at the car. She was driving an A6.

- This car just screams fun on every drive. Corners, lane changes, freeway ramps just beg to be pushed a little harder. Just makes you enjoy it.
