Definitely a fun fun car. Most toss-able car I've ever owned, and that 9k rpm redline screams like a banshee! Best 6 speed gearbox I've ever driven and many say it's the best available.

But.... only fun as a second/weekend car IMO. If you drive much at all (especially commuting), the same things that make it fun, detracts from it. It's still just a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine, so it really has very little torque down low. Plus, having to rev this thing all the way past 6-7k rpm into vtec to get any power gets a bit old. Lastly, it's tossable because it's so small, but it gets a little claustrophic inside if you have the top up and are in the car for an extended amount of time.

As for looks.. it can be quite the looker
