Great to hear you got into one eventually Chris.

I too was surprised at the mid range the car had and yes, the car is quiet. But I think due to manufacturer regulations and cost, it probably had to fit a maximum dB range. That said, the turbo's do muffle a lot of engine exhaust noise naturally.

I agree with the angles and looks. Im still not a fan of the grille. It looks cheezy and cheap in my opinion. It could be the shape of it Im being picky on. I do like the rear though and think its attractive.

Give it a few years though and the prices will eventually come down. But if they arent going to make any more for the Australian market, there is a chance the prices will remain stagnant for a while. After all, the new model will always push the prices of the old model down naturally.
