Friend let me drive theirs for an extended period of time and initial impressions were:

Pros:
- Fun to drive, definitely feels different from a regular Corolla
- Tons of power for a 3 cyl turbo
- Comfortable to daily. Read/heard that it's really stiff for day to day driving but I didn't feel that at all. Compliant but still flat around corners. Maybe I'm just used to my lowered FRS.

Cons:
- Interior definitely does not feel like a $45k car. Hopefully the next gen will have a better interior. Not much can be done when it's based on the regular Corolla. Small things like dual zone climate control, placement of the steering wheel buttons, etc. kinda bugged me
- I felt the seating position wasn't optimal for my proportions - might just need to get used to it overtime

Next step is to try and test it on the track LOL
