I've DD'd mine for several years now. It's like everyone's said:
1. Tire noise is loud
2. Suspension is stiff
3. Ground clearance is limited
4. Winter is a weak spot with several solutions available. I have an AWD backup car.
5. Don't expect Civic-like fuel economy

Also, if you get very sticky (fun) tires, you'll be replacing them often with such a long freeway commute. I spend about as much on tires as I do on gas. If you're thinking to get all-season tires, I would just buy another german car.

On the upside, it has plenty of torque, is reasonably comfortable, and climate control and such are nice, and I like the look of it. I didn't expect this, but the car gets compliments from random strangers about every week. I do track days now and then, and that's really why I bought it over a more comfortable/practical car.
