If power is everything, then you have choices. If handling is everything... you have very, very few choices.

Here are my thoughts.
The aerodynamics of this car are spectacular. It's what provides the edge over the older cars (s2000/MR-S/Miata in particular). The suspension hacks are brilliant, and mitigate the limitations of a strut front.
My fears are lack of overhead for power (already proven), and what happens when you start replacing suspension components and delete the factory hacks (going down this road now...)
Why in god's name couldn't they have put in a (more expensive) double wishbone in the front? Oh, boxer. Why couldn't they have more power in the car? Oh, Toyota.
It's a brilliant chassis with potential that is unrealized. The car uses tires with relentless efficiency.
