The things that are hard to fix (steering weight/feel, seating position, curb weight, drivetrain layout, transmission, handling) are all very good from the factory.

Of the cars I've owned recently (2009 STI, 2009 Boxster S, 2005 350z, 2011 GTI), I've had the most fun with this one. Just fits how I want to use it.

100% agree. I'd like to add as well that I absolutely love how the car looks and that was one of my biggest factors. I still look back at it every time I park somewhere.
