A co worker just got one of these but not the MS version and I really like it, and I think it will be my next car as its versatility is awesome. I will need something I can run to the hardware store to get things in and this with the feasibility of a good looking hatchback will be nice. I'm strongly considering the MS3 but not sure I want another manual in DC traffic and something that requires premium fuel.
I'm still on the fence but I plan to be test driving one soon.
