Detailed review: |
This car is a blast! Easy and fuel-efficient to drive in traffic, a serious sport coupe on the track and in the canyons. The engine loves to rev and is so smooth, it will bounce off the redline without missing a beat. There is no surer and sweeter shifter out there, the ride is firm but comfortable, and the handling is tight. Everything falls right to hand inside, there is lots of space for stuff in the back with the seats down, and the materials are way better than the other cars I looked at. There is lots of road noise from the crappy OEM Michelins though, which also give in turns before the car is ready to. They are perhaps the number one biggest problem with the car, which is OK because at least they can be replaced! |
