Anyone have any experience with this yet? Read a few reviews that rave about how the previous one's downfalls have been addressed and this one is a peach, but is it?

I'm lucky enough (saved up for a LONG time) to be able to afford one of these (although I do have an alternative buy I'm thinking about), and I want to know people's experiences.

I'm looking for a car that can be fun but doesn't leave you punch drunk after ragging it. I know it has the base speed and handling I"m after (Tiff confirmed that), but what's it like driving into the city and crawling through traffic?

I was one of the lucky ones who got hold of a P1 (those that know, will know) and loved it to death, only got rid of it when I moved to Australia 2 years ago, and now I"m looking for a change in tempo... Current car is a erm... well, it's an erm... Honda Civic VTi, er... 5 door family THING. Anyway, I'm sure that bolsters the reasoning behind my need for a "slight" upgrade!!

GIve me a shout and tell me your thoughts. Oh, and the alternative I alluded to earlier is the Evo IX.
