They called it a "major upgrade over the previous version" and said that it "scored higher overall than the Pontiac GTO [5.7], its most direct competitor", but that it "lacks the finesse of the best sports cars in this price range, including the Mazda RX8".

Their ratings:

Acceleration: 5/5 (0-60: 5.5 seconds, 14.2 second qm)
Transmission: 4/5
Routine Handling: 4/5
Emergency Handling: 4/5
Braking: 4/5
Headlights: 3/5
Ride: 3/5
Noise: 3/5
Driving position: 4/5
Front seat comfort: 4/5
Rear seat comfort: 1/5
Access: 3/5
Controls and Displays: 4/5
Fit and finish: 3/5
Trunk space: 2/5

Ask for more info.

It's their newest rating, they've used it for only about a year.

I disagree with their rear-seat comfort rating. The seat itself was quite comfortable, but lacking in legroom if the person in front of you sits very far back. It has good front legroom though, so it's probably not going to bother them to scoot the seat up a couple inches to give the rear seat passenger more room. No, you probably shouldn't put a 7-footer in the rear seat, but I doubt many people are going to use the car to haul more than a couple people around much anyway. And for someone with two (or less) children, it'd be fine.
