It is a blast to drive! I'm still in the breakin period ("no full throttle, no revs > 5500"), but even with those parameters generally applied, this car is amazing and mighty fast. You can cruise easily in third, doing around 3K at 40MPH, then tap the throttle and GO, GO, GO! The acceleration is fantastic and the smoothness of the engine truly is something to dream about (am I a fan, or what?!). The more I drive it, and it is my daily driver, the more comfortable I am with shifting and learning the overall feel. On a negative note regarding quality, however, the very first day out, during a reasonably brisk takeoff, part of my middle console blew off! It was just the rubber pad lining the bottom of one of the insets and obviously someone or something failed to glue it down. I sure hope that does not speak of the overall quality! The breaks squeal a lot, too. But, anyway you cut it, I can't wait to head off to work in the morning, and that really is what it's all about!
