They are fairly common in these parts. The dealer had over a dozen of them, but most were already sold, and awaiting delivery.

The base 2.0 engine with the 7 speed PDF transmission has a 0 to 60 of a little over 6 seconds so it is no slouch and will merge onto a highway with ease. The PDK is fun to drive. I punched it up to 50 MPH and then let off the throttle and the revs stay up expecting a hard turn and more throttle. It soon up-shifted. Of course the PDK shifts in a blink of the eye. Since it is not a torque converter system the towing capacity is real low, like 2,000 lbs. If I need to tow a trailer I have my trusty El Camino.
