Funnily enough, as I said elsewhere, I don't think they are really quick enough as standard, but my better half likes mine very much (she also liked the accord type r and nissan 200sx ). My biggest concern with it is that it is definately not a second car, not extreme enough for that, but a great everyday car that can be enjoyed at legal speeds. It is however thirsty.
