Good Points
Handling, fun, fun, fun.
Bad Points
I would like to reduce my ride height, but its not adviseable. Suspension is too finely tuned as is. I'm 6' tall and when the steering wheel is tilted all the way down (the way I like it) it block the top 1/3 of the guages. Bummer.
General Comments
The car is very light. Chassic is very firm, about as firm as I've ever felt a stock car. Good power throughout the gears. I think the ratios are as bit long though, but the power is utilized so it is not a problem. The car did not come with a rear wiper, clock or even lights in the trunk.
The Recaro seats are comfy but may not suit large persons. The Momo Steering wheel is a perfect 12.5", the titanium shifter is efffective if not the most comfortable. Shifting is firm, short and precise. Suspension walks the fine line between confort and stability. OZ racing rims are lightweight.
If you are used to driving other FF cars be careful - this car has less understeer tendencies. Fairly easy to control but can be tricky to get used to.
Good power, good performance, excellent handling. Fun factor is high.
