I love the "pocket rocket"ness of them.. itsy bitsy little car - but more power than most cars currently out there.

Sadly I have yet to actually try one on for size.. apparently they're fierce for going sideways..

I really like them. RWD and plenty of power and its a lovely looking car as well. Plus with the turbo they can be more easily tuned for more power.
Trying to find a nice example might prove to be a problem though - they're reaching that age (not too unlike the FTO) where there will be a lot of ragged ones around. I suspect you'd need to import to find a good one - and no-one is gonna pay 2K tax on an imported one from July onwards.

Scary is a work I'd use - I looked at getting one about 7 years ago and everything I read said that the early models are very prone to a lot of oversteer. I believe the suspension was revised with the face lift model (not sure which year though/)
