I have this exact coupe - picked it up a week ago and love it! It is individual, turns heads and is fast! Yes there are little things that maybe I am not so keen on but I haven't had a car yet that hasn't had some idiosyncrasy that I haven't been happy with! It will certainly do me for a couple of years - oh and I am 49! I actually prefer the coupe as it is classier looking!
@abuelofm5 The engine bay is very small and the gearbox needs to cope with very small engine (switching up and down all the time).
If only it would have been designed now with a double clutch gearbox. It would be a dream car and would hit 0-100km/h in about 9 seconds with stock settings (=under 8 with some mods).

I actually don't understand why theres a decklid in the back at the notchback version. it's practically useless. they have better fitted a spyder- like aerodynamic back. Woulded look like a million dollars
Interesting that he didn't like the notchback but preferred the coupe, smart deliberately aimed the notchback at the under 30's, and the coupe at old gits like him.
@iansumuk When Scion came out I was working for Toyota- and they tried to market the Tc and Xb to young people, but they were so ugly and slow that no young people liked them. Only old gizzards bought them. It's like the people who design cars have no sense of style- it wouldn't cost more to make it prettier. This thing is ugly as fuck.
This guy didn't stop smiling once. It's great to see people review cars when they actually enjoy cars.
Especially in contrast to the robotic likes of Edmunds, Kelly Blue Book, and Consumer Reports.
