Message Now this was the wagon, but they are supposed to be quite similar. It was a 5 speed, of course, and I guess Ill review that first. The shifter was extremely notchy. I cant say it bothered me though, and the throw was nice, tight, and short. The interior was nice, good dash, I really liked the seats. Nice MOMO steering wheel. No boost gauge :(. The clutch felt good, it was easy to downshift (which you need to do a LOT of :(. The car was very laggy. Boost came in at 2800, but it wasnt enough. It really didnt pull until around 4k. Redline is 7k. The gearing SUCKS! I could not keep it in the power band, and when you get down arond 2k, which is easy to do, there is NO power. Without full boost this thing is slow. As for the handling, I didnt get to push it much, but I can say MUCHO body roll. Didnt suit my tastes. The back seat was cramped, and the back had very little room. Its not available with a sunroof.

Overall, It was O.K. . Would be MUCH better with mods, and gutted pre-cats. I would take my NA over it any day. I think I could eat it up from a roll. Anyways, there ya go.
