Agree, that is definintely the question I get the most about my car. "Looks awesome man... Is it fast?". I don't beat around the bush with crap like "What do you mean by 'fast'?" or "What is fast to you?". I knew going in what this car was when I bought it. And I don't care what people think of me or the car - a cheap, light weight corner carver. So that's my answer. I tell people when they ask, me that question "it is not fast in a straight line - it is a more of a very agile corner carver, like a Miata with a back seat...". And that's usually where the conversation ends.

I don't know why people get their feathers so ruffled when reviews like the OP's are read or watched. I agree with alot of what he said. It is underpowered. That is true. It is sort of an economy car - it is a mid-$20K car which is pretty cheap in this day and age. That is true. He gave it some props too. It is a blast to drive. That is true. I think the review was fine.
