Well, I have driven it about 200 miles at this point and I am impressed. I actually had a group of Porsche from the PCA pull along side me and ask me to pull over so they could check it out. *nice*

It gets a lot of attention from younger guys, most other people either don't care or don't know what it is. I didn't buy it for attention, btw...

So, just a few impressions:

1. EPS is not perfect, but it does have good lane discipline and steering feel.
2. VERY stable at highway speeds, something that my Legacy is BAD at.
3. The structure is VERY solid feeling.
4. The doors are a bit "tinny" sounding when closed.
5. Keeping it at or under 4000 RPM is a hard task.
6. Clutch is touchy, but this may improve with mileage.
7. If you have ever driven a BMW, the shifter will feel familiar. It's no Miata.
8. It is surprisingly quiet going down the freeway.
9. The ride is taut, but very tolerable... even on the horrible Midwest roads.
10. The analog speedometer is totally redundant and is impossible to read.
