Driving
Great handling, crisp well weighted steering with no body roll when flung into corners.
Performance
Engine noisy with some vibration when cold, much smoother & not so audible when warm,"fast & pulls like a steam train", gear box is notchy & clunky (sounds like the two knukle heads out of the Wacky Race's)
