I just got my car about 2 month ago, replacing a BMW convertible. I bought it as a DD with 60 miles each way, on not so great NY state roads and HW. I test drove the NISMO as well as a non-sport equipped Z, and decided against the sport package since for long distance driving I thought it's being to hard and rough on my spine

In the meantime I moved to Texas and will probably upgrade the suspension soon, the streets are so much better. I also added the rear spoiler, but since I am not tracking, the brakes are just fine with me. Everything else is stock, even though a CAI and axle back exhaust are on the short list, mainly for sound.

It is what it is, a 2 seater sports car, so no illusion about carrying a lot in the trunk, much more space in the Golf, I had the TDI, but thats also not the purpose of the car.

Now the gearbox and clutch is an interesting one, and I'm not too happy with the chunkiness and noise it produces, thought it was broken right when I got it, but turns out thats a normal noise it produces when shifting from 1st to 2nd.

If you have not much experience it might not be a problem, but I came from the BMW which has a awesome manual gear box.

Overall it's a fantastic car, but if you need space.....it is very limited.
