this guy at school has one and is always bragging on how MADD FAST it is. i drove it. i assure u, it is simply not an enthusiast vehicle. i took a car and a half on him from a dig with me on barely 10 pounds because of my several boost leaks at the time. not an impressive car at all. not a waste of money if ur a cheerleader or a secretary. the gearing for the six speed is awkward and leaves a lot to be desired.
