They're right, focus shifted so much from driving to numbers even in stock form.
Agree, its a great little car. In the threads regarding the new generation, so many people were complaining about the lack of a turbo or luxuries, but so many people forget, the point is this is one of the only (other than Miata, which many can't fit, and is harder to daily) performance/enthusiast cars on a budget, with a new warranty and no miles. Everything else is disappearing. Think back 20 years and two/three-door coupes and hatches could be found from so many brands, FWD, RWD, even some AWD that is affordable. Today, they're pretty much all gone



This is a great video from Cammisa, and really explains how they fixed the torque issue without adding a turbo or increasing the price.
