Thats a fairly good summary of your euro buddy.
I enjoyed reading it ...

Yes the euro is not the perfect car, and im unsure if it should be car of the year
but its as close to a drivers car as you can get.
My personal view is that the steering can feel (at times) disconnected
and impersonal or maybe its just im used to old fashioned steering.
The car looks bigger, more manly like its got elephant testicles
Truly to get the best out of your vtec rev it to 4,000 rpm and feeeel the exilaration.
Of course wait until you have run your motor in..
