As its Golden Week here, I have had the car home to do some work, and managed to get out on the highway the other day and do some objective evaluation. Damn it fast! It comes standard w/ HP Turbo, which has a little lag, but at 3000 that kicks in quite nicely, and you best get a good grip on the wheel.

The things that I am a little dissappointed with are
1) The braking: A little spongy, although the FR pads are down a fair bit so maybe replacement will fix that hopefully.
2) Rough Sus settings: on glass roads, its a smooth ride, but hit a few council pot holes and it shakes.

Other than that, the Stereo in it is fantastic, honestly one of the best systems I have heard, genuine or aftermarket fitted, the seats are comfortable..

So it gets 2out of 3 for the moment. Looks good, has a good stereo but lacks the comfort ride, but then again, its a coupe not a family car this time....

Cheers
