On the road
Driving
Chose a Carrera 2 with PSM, but found it a little tail happy on the limit. Little warning of impending doom, but PSM did a great job of keeping me alive!
Performance
Very quick car with excellent brakes. Sometimes a little sluggish at low revs, though.

Living with it
Reliability
Mine visited the workshop once a fortnight on average, but I did drive it REALLY hard on both road and on track, so I am impressed that it is still actually in one piece!
Image
Bright yellow with full GT3 kit and sports exhaust! A definite boy racer's dream car :-) Turned heads and dropped jaws everywhere it went.
Comfort
Very comfortable to drive, although cramped in the back. Have squeezed four adults in many times, though...
