What does everyone think of these? Thinking about buying one. 12k brand new on the road. Just reading in Autocar, they timed it to 60 in 6.5 seconds and in an EVO road test, it was timed to 100 faster than an Impreza turbo! Don't think there's much out there to touch em for the price!

They are great apart from the fact that you don't get a lot of goodies, i.e no ABS or Air con stuff like that (to keep it light)

True, no ABS is not good on a brand new car, neither is no electric windows. Still, its all in the name of performance!

they look subtle and understated, not likely to attract attention from the 'Maxy P' crowd!
