I just rented one while my Miata was in the body shop.
Honestly, if GM said I could drive one for free, but I had to drive it every day, I'd still say no. Even for free. Seriously.
OK, OK, I'm sure the SS is 1000 times better, but it's still sharing the same basic platform and most of the issues I had with the base model - poor visibility, cramped rear seat, cheap plastics, poor fit and finish.
Bottom line: it feels like a brand new car from 1990.
You can't just slap nice seats and a booming engine on to that platform and say it's the best compact with the turbo. I think they're nuts.
And for it to score that much higher than the Lancer Ralliart? Seriously?
