Amazing fun at a high value (non-inflated price)

The RS is amazing! I got it new and now have 20k on it. It runs like the day I got it. I swap winters/tires/rims every winter and it's my daily driver in New Hampshire. The 18 has refined suspension compared to prior years. I absolutely love this car! The bang for the buck is truly great! That said, I waited until the mark-ups were taken down! I love the design and including the interior. Only complaint with interior is the front seats are a little too high and the words for the dash controls (heat, defogger, etc) are super small/hard to read. I still get looks and random thumbs up, which is a gas. So far, it's been completely reliable. I test drove it to the Golf R and Subaru STi and the RS won! I could not turn off the control traction on the Golf R and dummed down things, which I did not like and the STi just didn't put a smile on my face like the RS and the interior felt drab/ordinary. So far, 3 years into this RS, I still love it!

absolutely exceeded all of my expectations

I was looking for a fun daily driver that has great performance I can use in all seasons. With the winter tires and wheels this was a snowmobile in the winter, and a blast in the summer.

Truly fun to drive.

Great gas mileage, exceptional power, and excellent control, make this a perfect daily driver. The adaptive all wheel drive makes even a novice driver feel in control.

My fave car

Very fun car with great power and style. Interior styling is very basically though. Recaro seats are awesome and very supportive. So far I haven't had any issues with it.
