It is so good that I think it's beaten the Miata as my previous budget driver's car of choice.
Enjoy it!!!

And this is what people will always talk about. How you could spend X dollars more and get a whatever, completely glossing over the fact that it costs X dollars more.
The interior materials are ok, but nothing that some Katzkin leather couldn't fix, the engine can use some mods to beef it up, and the steering could probably use a bit more feel (but I think it's fine IMO). But, the money was spend wisely and its a great base for modification or future improvements. The same people who say that it needs a turbo will complain that the turbo version costs $5k more, some people are never happy.
