I don’t know if I’d say overrated. I’ve riden in one around an autocross track with a very good driver and those little cars absolutely scream. V6 torque + awd… everything the WRX wishes it was. And it’s got all the comfort you need for a daily driver, something no one short of a masochist can say of an STi/Evo.
I’ve also watched video of that R32 running down some very impressive cars at the glen.
