Mood: I've bought a 900SL!
I currently own an IX GT , jap import with Ti turbo, Its fairly fast to put it mildly and handles canny too. Running costs sofar arent too bad but it does have 4.5K service intervals so if ur cranking the miles it might start to burn the readies , sofar my only service bill 1st 4.5k service was £145.oo.
Havent got any complaints, I'd say its best car I've owned for perfromance and usability. PS its got enough grunt on boost to steer from the rear so its not a tyre shredding understeering barge that my previous impreza was (slight exageration to emphasis a point).
Also the GT only has an active centre diff with plated LSDs in the front and rear axles, the uk IX320 has an active rear diff. some prefer active some dont, there are stories of people over cooking active diff cars into a bend and backing off resulting in large snap oversteer in to the scenery backwards, cant say what happens on a plate diff as i like to keep it shiney side up, but its been very predictable so far.
