it handles great. though there are some downfalls, the car is very solid.
i wish that GM would have brought over more of the other engines though.
the cost to own this car has yet to be detirmined.
the care is a blast to drive because of how well it handles in the tight corners.

Pros — handling
Cons — needs more get up and go

I love the sport suspension option; its real tight and corners great.

Pros — Small and very light... a mere 2800 lbs.
Cons — Don't go with the automatic.  It sucks way to much HP away.

I love the way the car looks. The leather is a little stiff, hopefully it will soften up as I put more mileage on it. The factory 18" make a massive difference. The acceleration on the car is borderline pathetic, especially for a car that looks this fast. The handling is another story; sticky rubber, firm suspension settings and a wide track make it corner with no fuss and no drama.

Pros — Looks fantastic, Handles like it's on rails, New car smell
Cons — Mediocre power, lack of aux. input for audio system, Bad blind spot on driver side
