If it is the black T5, sounds good to go. I don't subscribe to Consumer Reports because they are not car guys.

The T5 is not a sedan, it is built for 2 people and minimal luggage. Because it is short, it will be a little rough on the highway expansion strips, but it is fun to drive. The 5 cyl engine has been proven to be tough. The tranny for 2011 has the bugs worked out of it, as well as most of the electronics. Just make sure you only use pure synthetic engine oil, that will keep the PCV system reasonably clean. If you like to get up to 5K+ rpms and full boost, you will need premium gasoline, otherwise, I suggest using the midgrade octane stuff.
