I was in love with this car ever since it was on the cover of the Car and Driver. It was a great car at a great price, considering how much more you have to pay for something that performs to this caliber. Driving this car is like a rather bumpy sofa. It holds you comfortably, when you are standing still. Once you get going, the car holds to the road no matter what you do. Be careful what tire you put on though. Dunlop SP 8000 was okey but I did spin out twice. After switching to Bridgestone RE71 I have not yet had any problem (knock on wood).
If you drive too aggressively, I would caution buying this car. This car will get you out of a jam almost anytime, but you will get used to it and not think about how you are suppose to drive, such as precise timing going into turns. There are enough power to go fast, you don't need to push it.
Another thing about the car is that it is simply too heavy. Get TRD racing breaks or don't think about going fast. I had my break system redone and it makes a whole lotta difference.
