    Good grip wet and dry can really throw it into corners and come out the other side smiling. The ride is very firm. Hardly any engine noise.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Just right, feels faster with the low driving position. Have to keep telling myself it's not a sports car. Can be a bit sluggish in 1st/2nd.
