The performance is impressive, they're really fun to drive (I test drove a Spider last year), the twin clutch gearbox is not as good as a manual but good enough, and they look so gorgeous! Owners report reliability to be pretty good overall (surprisingly) and I don't think consumable costs or reliability will be any worse than say, a modified BRZ wearing big brakes, 18 or 19" wheels, and aftermarket forced induction.

It also helps that there's a 4C specialty shop just an hour north of me in Denver; can get high-altitude specific tuning and source all the uprgades necessary to break into the 300bhp range. That's plenty for me in a <2500lb car!

@Braces made that jump, maybe he's still around..
