  • Awsome power.
  • Adjustble engine transmission and AWD parameters on the MR make for great fun on all road surfaces.
  • Stands out in a crowd.
  • Back seat is a bit tight on space.
  • Seems to be a magnet for stupid car drivers who alwys drive in your blind spot.
  • Windsheild washer bottle in the trunk--get real.
  • Pay to play---lots of boost equals lots of fuel used.
