Saw one of these in the flesh today (over in the USA at present). Nice looking car - although it was smaller than I expected. Not quite my cup of tea, prefer a GTR Skyline

I was lucky to drive one of these the other day. I'm in Canada at the moment and my fiancee's Dad just bought one (so I took it VERY carefully). Lovely car though, although quite small inside. Cost in Canada? $46k CAD.......

Hi Tractor
Come, please give us your report!
Does it need revs or is there loads of torque?
Does it feel like 280+ BHP?

Shed loads of torque! Heavy controls, and a bit too much show IMHO, even tho it goes pretty well. Having said which, when grabbed by the scruff you can push it pretty hard and fast, too.

Not bad if you are after a quick, RWD 2 seater IMO.

I wasn't able to push it at all, as it wasn't yet run in. However, things that stood out were:

- loads of torque
- very direct steering
- very firm ride
- excellent body control
- looks miles better in real life

One of these followed me on the M6 last week. I couldn't work out what it was to start with so I got over to let it pass and have a better look ( ).

They do look fantastic in the flesh IMO
