Handles great, and for what I paid for a new car I think the seats are awesome.
Driving it in the winter on good snow tires (and not feeling at all like I'm going to die every 5 seconds) is a special kind of fun. Unexpectedly getting 40mpg highway out of pricey high octane fuel is a pretty nice thing, too. At least now I know it can be done.

Love that it corners like it's on rails (that's with the prius tires).
Love the fast AT, floor it, 1 second later you're at 6500 rpm and the engine is howling like a banshee! Love the factory seats that hold you like shrek gripping a turkey leg. |

I do love the AT on this car as well. The rev matching and that you can use the paddle/stick shifter without going into Manual mode. Downshifting on demand. |

I know it receives a lot of criticism but I like the sound of the engine as it climbs through the rpms. I started driving with the rear seats folder down and it is like I bought a new exhaust.

Definitely. I was cross-shopping with EVO 8/9; and even though an Evo would have been faster, it's always a big gamble on reliability on used Evos. Especially needing it for DD purposes.
