One month 1,500 miles thoughts. So far so good(I know nobody asked). The car I traded for it had almost twice the horsepower and torque (G70 3.3T). The power balance has been awesome. Unlike dailying a sub 400 HP car like I've done a few times before you can actually have fun working through the gears. The ratios are also great for hooning and big city traffic. The rev matching feature for traffic like I originally thought is a god send. If you're chilling in 6th it's fun to kick up a gear to pass someone with ease even though you don't have to. The power band never leaves you wanting for more. The biggest surprise to me is how light this vehicle is for a modern car. The G70 is close to 4,000lbs as was my GS350 before that and I had a truck before then so this is refreshingly light. I also owned a Fiesta ST and this car tops that one in a plethora of ways as it's a good commuter and not much heavier than that vehicle. I have yet to dip below 30MPG and I never use comfort. If I behave I can easily get close to 40. Drawbacks: this black interior is a killer in the Texas heat. You have to be careful with the hatch as I've cracked the plastic lip which is hollow. Perhaps the biggest drawback is the wiper speed. They are really not fast enough to keep up with even moderate rain at highway speeds. Hopefully KTuner can figure that out lol overall very impressive car and a joy to drive. I know a lot of people are waiting on the S or R but this is a very good vehicle.
