On paper, it sounds great. And the Edmunds review supported what I would suspect. I need to go drive one.

I know JST drove one and I recall his comments to me about it. But I am not deterred. The only deterrant (at this point - without having driven it myself yet) is price.

On paper, we've got a small, AWD hatch (with some practicality in the back) with 240 HP and a 6-spd manual tranny. It's a little heavy, but it's also comfortable, well-appointed and handsome, inside and out.

I am going to make a point to drive one soon, but I'm also looking for comments from you guys.
