This is the first non american car I've ever bought and is the first time I have spent time in a forum for a non american car. I skimmed through the posts and hear some talk of turbos, but where is the love for the supercharger? I know turbos are better and Jap cars don't typicaly use superchargers, but they are a cheaper alternative and don't cause nearly as many tuning problems.
Supercharger, cams, exhaust and 220hp should be obtainable. Although universal supercharger kits are still not cheap themselves and can be a pain to fit properley.

I always hear complaints about the power but when I have needed to accelerate and get in a lane a double tap on the CVT downshift side and a press on the pedal my vehicle accelerated quickly and did what I wanted it to do.
The suspension on the car is amazing (I have always owned 3-5 year old luxury cars) compared to anything I have ever had. It is sure footed, feature packed, and I get a ton of compliments.
My only complaints are the glitches that as of yet are still unresolved (popping through my speakers when I adjust mirrors) and the thin paint that easily chips on the hood, which if they make a carbon fiber hood that is basic GTS style the evo style one is too ricey for me will be replaced. I get a ton of compliments on the car and love having the CVT. I drive in heavy traffic every day which made the MS3 an impractical DD for me.

This car really wakes up and surges forward when the MIVEC kicks in. Its such a great car all around, from looks, space, quality, features, safety, technology. For those who crave more power, there is the ralliart. Oh baby, thats gonna be so much fun!
