A hot little car, it will not make you want to buy another one for commuting. I have made multiple 1500 mile trips in it and never felt uncomfortable.

Great sleeper - Does not look loud and yet is fast enough to blow the doors off poseur racers. It's fun to watch the little wanna-be sports cars like civics, miatas and the rest in the rear-view mirror that dare challenge me thinking I have a slower car.

Oodles of power on tap beyond 4400 rpm. Sips gas under 4K rpm. Handling is *great* and poise superb. Shifting is precise, clutch accurate.

After 7 years, the paint looks like new, except for the couple of spots that idiot SUV owners dinged.

Total unscheduled maintenance in 7 years was right low-beam bulb, @ $4.15 tax.

Size lacks the dimensions, but is within tolerance given this is a sub-compact. You do not drive an Integra GS-R and expect to haul the soccer team in it. Road-noise louder than usual due to less sound-proofing to allow for a low curb-weight. Sunroom developed a slight rattle after 5 years. Not annoying enough to fix.

Conclusion - I could not have picked a better car and I am going to grow old in it.
