After owning mine for over a year now, here's a couple things you should know:

This is not a quiet, torquey, plush, soft riding car. It's completely fine as a daily, but if you value these things over what I'm gonna say below, this is probably not your car. That said, a test drive never hurt lol

The experience. That's with this car is selling you. Lightweight, rwd, manual transmission. Handling over power. You can drive the hell out of this car, and it will reward you. The engine is happiest near redline, and the chassis is very communicative at the limit. The transmission seemingly shifts smoother the harder you drive. And what's great about only having 200hp is that you can use all of it on the street without killing yourself or getting a ticket in 5 seconds.

Here's a tip if you go for a test drive: put aside the performance numbers and just see if you like the car.

Oh and I average 28mpg btw
