Agreed and agreed. I haven't really, really tossed the car around yet, but it is very nimble and responsive and has a very high threshold before things get, uhm, interesting.
As far as power goes, it's okay below ~3500 RPMs but above that it really gets up and goes - plus it sings a very sweet song at those revs. My first tank is averaging a dismal 20MPG, mainly because I love to hear the motor at 4K and above.
If I see a downside at this early stage of ownership, it is that the interior has virtually no storage. There's a nice bit of room under the hatch but it's not accessible from inside the car. There's a storage compartment between/behind the seats but one must be a bit of a contortionist to reach it. Not the easiest location for folks of a certain vintage.
