Windsheild washer bottle in the trunk--get real.
Pay to play---lots of boost equals lots of fuel used.
|
 |
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.
|
 |
Awsome power.
Adjustble engine transmission and AWD parameters on the MR make for great fun on all road surfaces.

With that spoiler blocking your rear view, watch out, or their going to get you!
