Yeah, if you are looking to "eat" people up, you should pass. This isn't the car for you. Again, this car is about handling. not straight line speed. I lost interest in that stuff a long time ago.

I like the fact that it's not a convertible like the miata.
Looks like there's more space inside which may make it a more practical alternative.
I wouldn't necessarily write it off just as miata competitor either.
There's no official word (that Im aware of at least) that the n/a 2.0l will be the only powerplant.
Also hard to say what Subaru's version will come with.

I plan on getting one and takeing it the the track for fun, but a few years after they are out when the price drops.
autocross lots = no walls or poles = no huge danger, as long as you arnt pushing the car too hard.
people here track their DD's too, that shit is more retarded IMO.

Tracking your daily is just fine, I'd actually encourage it at least once in order to get to know the car better.
Every time I get a new car, it will go to an hdpe and/or autoX within a month.
Just b/c it's a track event doesn't mean there's going to be doom & suffering.
The only thing I'd do is dial in some negative camber in the alignment if there is none from the factory.
I learned the hard way and wasted a new set of tires doing autoX in my old 08 civic si.
