I really like them. They had one year with a pearl blue and a cream interior that I was thinking strongly about buying a couple years back but they're hard to find.

By all accounts they're great drivers cars. I know that Kia/Hyundai had REALLY done a nice job with those dual scroll turbos that greatly reduce turbo lag and give you really nice power earlier in the power band than, say, GM was getting. You're not getting peak power at 1,200 RPM or anything, but it's WELL below the 5K you're seeing on a lot of other turbos.

So I'll bet that twin turbo V-6 is a DAMN fun engine.

EDIT:

Here's an example for sale of the one I was eyeballing:
