My opinion of this car remains the same - I like it
From that review, it sounds like a better car than the previous model...
I wonder how tuning will affect that electronic set up it has to control torque production and torque steer though, hopefully it's still at least a little tuner friendly, after all who wouldn't want to give it a little bump up in power like what's available to most/all turbo charged cars
I'd have to say though, that for the money I'd go for a MY09 onwards WRX sedan...just from a performance standpoint, it's got the goods to kick any hot hatch in the guts and with some tuning it'll stomp the best of them as well as being a practicle not bad looking mid size 4 door sedan...
