Exactly. I think it's an aspect people are forgetting. On this site, people are considering the car largely from an economy perspective, and end up disappointed. On some other sites I use, people are considering the car solely from a performance perspective, and being disappointed in that too.

But when you consider both performance and economy, the car is actually quite an impressive compromise, and at a decent price too.

They also look great on the road, IMO. Seen a couple around now (both in white) and they really stand out.
