1.) How do you think it will handle?
2.) Any guess' at 0-60 times? (can it do sub 8 seconds)
3.) Will the supercharger be a "mopar" type of accessory?
4.) Do you think the supercharger will be compatable with the automatic version of this car?
I really like the looks and bang for the buck of this car. How small is it exactly? About the size of an RSX?
Thanks guys!

its not gonna take turns as good as the wrx but still its very good- just get some lowering springs and turning improves big time!
it has a supercharger that puts out 200whp (by toyota) but majority of the owners get about 210-215 whp with the s/c. 0-60 get down to like 6.4- 6.8(driver dependent)
and yes, the s/c is compatible with auto tranny.
it truly IS a bang for the buck. especially the 2008 model- comes with standard side airbags, and a rear mounted subwoofer.
their are some rattle problems (depending on the driving conditions- toyota takes care of them pretty good so no worries)
now for the price of a supercharger, you can get a greddy turbo kit that gives you 260- 280 WHEEL hp and 265-285 WHEEL tq at 9psi boost. (manual tranny)
it may not seem much but these no.s are what hit the pavement! my turbo tC gives 260hp/ 275tq and is decently faster than an EVO! STi's are no competition. I've taken an 05 M5 and kept up with a 500hp/500tq SRT-8 charger.
honest to god im not making this up!
... and even after the turbo its a very VERY manageable daily driver.
