Fun daily driver.  Powerful and comfortable, but doesn't ride so stiff as to jar your back like the Honda Civic SI.  Expected understeer in corners is there, added to by the car being a little top heavy.  Also, brake fade creeps up quick in "spirited" driving, so brake upgrade should be first on your list, quickly followed by a chip from AP Tuning.

Pros — quick, fun daily driver
Cons — brake fade creeps up quick, understeer, but expected in a fwd
