Haven't picked it up yet.
Compared to driving the ST it feels a lot more "raw" if you like and definitely more an enthusiasts car than the ST, think of a chipped RST but with VERY sorted handling/brakes and you get the idea.
I've gone for the RS cos I have a "thing" for them, had the Cossie for 10 years and always wanted 2 in the garage.
Also it's a financial thing, coming from a Boxster that lost £500 in 15 months I wanted something that short term will keep it's value, and compared to the ST I think the RS will do that very well.
BTW, £15.5k buys a VERY good one.
