Driving it

Pretty rapid. AWD traction is great coming out of tight corners. Suspension is a bit choppy at normal speeds and a bit soggy through the corners leading it to lean alot. Can understeer if you over do it going into a corner.
What's it like to park?
No parking sensors, but pretty easy. good visability all round.
