Like:
1. unbelievable performance for the money
2. Recaros kick ***
3. The car communicates what it's doing telepathically with driver. It must be bluetooth or something.LOL
4. The urge to drive like Tommi Makkinen when it's appropriate.
Dislike:
1. Fit and finish of the interior could be better.
2. Ricers fart can solutes everytime you pass one.
3. The unstoppable urge to drive like Tommi Makkinen when it's not appropriate.

Performance
Huge amout of aftermarket parts
Great forums like this

Dislikes:
My biggest dislike is that when it's dark outside the back seat is in total darkness. I need to go pick up a white neon light and put it somewhere so I can actually see the backseat.
The need to spend money on it.
Clutch not strong enough for what the car is capable of
Transferface not up to it with high power + grabby clutch

1) Watching heat dissipate through the hood vent at stoplights.
2) Little kids faces plastered to the windows of their parents suburban because

Dislikes:
1) Stock gauges (lack of boost gauge)
2) How I accidentally punch the gas pedal while going over speed bumps (because of the stiff suspension) and everyone watches the evo buck and jump like I cant drive or Im trying to show off
3) My payment

Likes:
  1. Great communication, feel and handling characteristics – Excellent for a 4wd car.
  2. Great power once the car comes on boost.
  3. Lots of modifications available.
  4. Brakes that can actually handle the power.

Dislikes:
  1. Supersensitive throttle when driving slowly over bumps. This can be miserable until you learn to brace you foot against the center console while driving around town!
  2. A “no wing” option should have been available.
  3. A boost gauge would have been nice
