I owned one for a while. Very rare Tornado red, low miles, top spec, serviced properly, recent refurb of the brakes etc and it was hands down the most boring car I've ever owned.

They look and sound the part but that's as far as it goes for me. They do have a presence that's for sure but the drive is so underwhelming it's unreal. I don't think they really come alive until they've been charged or turbo'd but then you're talking mad money for one.

I had a Civic Type R that was infinitely more fun as was my S3 which are in the same class I suppose.
