I sold my SeriesBlue recently - the engine is just tiring after awhile but rest of the car is perfect.
I agree headers and a tune would help to get another 20-30hp and further improve low end torque.

The big bright spot on the new one is max torque is now at 3-4k compared to over 6k on old one. It should feel much faster. The engine also sounds very good in some of the vids i saw but that maybe fake noise inside.

I will be very tempted if they release an STI version.
