Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Still a standout car to steer
- Surprisingly practical for a two-door convertible
- About to become a whole lot harder to get
Misses
- Sounds like a fancy WRX
- Interior technology now feels old
- It's going away in 2024, and the new one is electric
