It is a cool car to drive around. Unique exterior styling and looks great. Not fast by today's standards but drives handles nicely. It is meant to perform. You will be happy with how it drives, steers, and handles overall. It is not a euro sport so do not expect refinement. NVH is high. If you are buying from a dealer you will not know if the CSC and the MC was replaced. You can most likely get that info of you are buying from an owner. If you cannot tell, that would be the first thing I would change. Do not go back to OEM parts - lots of information here on what upgrades. Depending on model year, you will need to check for steering lock issues ('09 - '11). Do a visual on the rear differential bushing. Tell tale sign is a trace leak on the exhaust. Good luck on your search.
