 This car is driven in southern Germany, and I'm lucky enought to scale a mountain road in it every day to and from work. It's absolutely in its element there, and enormously satisfying to drive fast. Autobahns are no problem, as it seems happiest above 100mph. I have to agree with the gripes about the clutch - I've never had this much difficulty driving a vehicle smoothly. When you get it right, it's awesome. If not, it can be embarrassing and frustrating. I miss the linearity in acceleration of non-turbo performance engines, but this thing pulls like a V-8 under full throttle and is truly impressive. Clean the stock wheels and they look nice, it's just a nightmare to keep them that way.
