In my honest opinion, its a great car. Handles great, plenty of power, and very comfy interior. The tech package seems to be 50/50 though.....some love it, some hate it. Personally, I love it. Aftermarket probably doesn't compare to the Scion, but isn't all that bad. Just be sure to troll the forums once you become an owner. Knowledge is power when it comes to this platform, because the DISI motor is very "unique". But in my opinion, the best thing about owning an MS3 is the fact that you won't see them everywhere on the road like you would a scion, mustang, SRT, EVO, WRX, etc.

Welcome!

Go for it, you wont regret it. Sure, the susp is pretty stiff. Yes, there isnt much feedback through the wheel. Interior might be a bit noisy over time and some say it even looks cheap (not me), but thats as far as problems go.

Its a very fun car to drive, not go-kart like, but still very fun. Its nimble on the twisties. Power is plenty and the exhaust sound when properly shifting down (rev-matching) is just pure music!! especially inside closed parking lots.

Exterior is not for everyone (insert every comment you might think about the "stupid smile") but I do like it, it grew on me and, at some angles (exhibit number 1, exhibit number 2), you can see that the front look pretty darn good! (at least, IMHO )

Go for it! and when you do, zoom-zoom everywhere and post some pics!

Cheers and good luck on the decision!
