Test Driver Ratings & Comments
Acceleration commentsBrake torque does little to improve acceleration times, but manual shifts happen quick enough to use during testing, which is rare. Rev-matched downshifts.
Braking commentsSolid, consistent pedal. Some fade over the five runs, but pedal remained solid.
Handling commentsSlalom: Superb steering effort, feel and feedback. Lacks outright grip to be amazing here, but balance is good. A fun car even if it's not posting records. Skid pad: Very easy to overheat tires, which changes balance dramatically toward oversteer. Otherwise, it has the same fun, rewarding and communicative experience we're used to.
