Great write up Tracy, pretty much sums up what Debbie said when she drove it, she only drives the WR1 when she has to, loves her classic to bits, and did like driving the 08, so much that we ordered 1 Like Al, I have to confess it is good on a twisty back road over the old car, however we have not driven the new car on anything else.........yet
Our 2 main complaints were a lack of noise & no push in the back as you mentioned, having said that it was quick as you say when you looked at the speedo, has a wider more progressive powerband, hopefully having a Miltek exhaust & remap on our Euro car at first service, will let you know how it goes
