The sport body kit does look very nice but the front air dam is extremely vulnerable to damage with driveways, etc.
If you like handling as your sig suggests, the 4C suspension system will drive you nuts. At the two softer settings, the chassis exhibits a sidestepping behaviour when going over bumps sometimes. Disable the 4C system by unplugging one of the accelerometers and the problem goes away. On the advanced setting there is little sidestep but the car becomes very bouncy. I've got springs and a swaybar on the way that reportedly resolve these issues. Unfortunately, lowering the car to improve the handling would make the body kit even more impractical.
The Pirelli P Zero Rossos that come with the car pretty much suck in the cold, are very vulnerable to potholes, and offer zero rim protection. They also tramline alot.
Enough of the bad. I love the interior of mine, the stereo sound quality, and the torque (when it's not warm/hot outside). The car definitely get looks too.
Oh. If you look at used, don't bother with the auto tranny for 2004/5 years as they are torque limited to 258 lb/ft in 1st and 2nd versus 295 lb/ft for the manual. The 2006s have an upgraded tranny and don't have the torque limitation.
Let me know if you want more input.
