1. Do you find “visibility” to be a pain in the *** at times? During my test drive I didn’t really pay much attention, mostly looking straight ahead pretending to listen to the salesman talking my ear off about how cool my GF would think I’m am I’ve I drove home in a 370z (true story)
2. What kind times are people achieving in the ¼ mile? Most test reviews seem to have it anywhere from 13.3 to 13.7@ 103-107mph from what I’ve seen.
3. Certain reviews I’ve read say the engine sounds / feels very unrefined at higher RPMS. I didn’t beat on it during the test drive but did notice a certain amount of raucous as the REVS climbed. Do you generally enjoy the sound of the engine?
4. Can you give me some examples of what will fit in the back? It looked like a fairly sizeable space but it would be nice to hear some real life examples.
Okays I think that’s enough for one post! Sorry it’s so long, I tried to break it up so it will be a little more bearable.

1. Visibility of the car is pretty good (in my opinion). The only problem is rear visibility (as you're backing up). But that problem was solved when I installed the rear
BACK up camera. 
2. 13.2-13.8 would be normal 1/4 miles. You have to understand these are NOT drag cars. Cars like these (E92 m3, 370Z, S2000 etc) shine on road course and autox. Though with a few bolt ons and tune, people are breaking
12s
3. Engine DOES get a little noisy but it shouldn't bother you. If you change the exhaust or put a CAI in, it sounds a lot better. Recently I have been only revving upto 7000 RPM (that's where the peak is) even though I can go upto 7.5K.
4. Check out this thread:

You can fit a lot more than you think.
Good luck with your new car hunt.
