And importantly, can take a pothole and real world crappy roads with ease while keeping up a healthy pace.
I've toured around Ireland, the UK and across Europe in it. A few trips to the Ring and back, about 4 track days per year and as my daily driver to this day.
Stupidly impractical car, like a reverse Tardis. Huge on the outside but yet tiny on the inside! My work is only 3 miles away from my house which means I get 13mpg! :-0 But on a long run I get 30mpg.
But yet last weekend instead of bringing my wifes practical car, we loaded up my SX with all the baby stuff (well toddler), bags, food, etc. and went on a 400 mile coastal road 3 day trip. :-)
So just decide what you want in a car. And what you can live with and what you can't. "Economy" will never be a word that you will associate with an SX, so start with that thought first... ;-)
