This is not a drift car, so let it go.
The back seat can fit toddlers at best.
The trunk can probably fit your backpack AND your duffle bag!
The car gets worse MPG than a 505hp Z06 Corvette that weighs 600 pounds more.

Haven't been on here for two years, so I can't speak to the earlier claims other than they don't seem to be any different than any other car you look at 2 or 3 years out. Price point is never reached, the car never performs exactly as the first goal, etc.
What I can tell you for me, the Car IS:
...Affordable. That's truly an individual decision. Some people think a ZR1 is affordable, or that anything over >$10K is not. It's subjective.
...Fast enough. I've driven it, maybe its only perception, but the car is satisfyingly fast for me. Again, a subjective point.
...a driver's car. Could I drift it? Probably. Will I? No. I can tell you from actually driving the car, even with TC on, I was able to push the rear end around enough to make it exciting and fun.
...a 2+2. Backseat is usable for 3 to 4 adults, for a short distance. No, I wouldn't want to ride in the back for hours, but I would for a short hop to the movies. Then again, I'm not 6'3" tall either. I saw four grown males in the car, they all survived. This is no different than any other 2+2.
...decent trunk space. Two people could travel in the car of a week, no issues. 3, probably a weekend. 4, you're not going to do that in this car anyway.
...MPG. Hit the numbers I was looking for, and since I'm OK with the WHP, its all good.
Add, looks. Love the way this car looks, again subjective. I also love the Camaro, the Caddy CTS series, and even the Kia Optima and the new VW Bug. Yes, I'm all over the place.
Again, YMMV and obviously yours does.
