I havent' finished reading this yet, but it's pretty funny.

"The fuel economy is exceptional for a performer of this calibre. "

Nice.

Funny again. They mention the center console cup warmers.

One more niggle: There was a huge electric storm one night during the trip and, as is typical of the region we toured, the next day was magnificent. Even at 8 a.m. the cockpit was hot as the sun blazed through the sunroof. At the flick of a switch, the roof tilted up as it opened and a veritable waterfall flooded in, soaking driver and passenger alike!

Too funny! Yet another reason why I didn't get the sunroof (my main reason was to save weight).

So, the sun was blazing through the sunroof, which means he had the shade open but sunroof closed. So didn't he see all the water pooling on top of the sunroof before he opened it?

Serves him right.

The long centre console features slider panels at the front and rear that hide cupholders. For a small car, stowage space is adequate.
Shouldn't that be storage?? Silly people..But it's always nice to have positive stuff written about our cars..

They have got to be kidding. "The fuel economy is exceptional for a performer of this calibre. " I laughed my *** off when I read that. My STI is a ton more powerful and gets much better gas mileage. Other then that I agree with review, but compare HP vs gas mileage, and this car is not doing very well at the moment. It needs more hp and better fuel economy before anyone can make a statement like that.
