4.0/54 of 4 reviewersstrong consensus“There's no way this car is making only 230-ish horsepower. This feels much quicker than that.”
positive · Zygrene · ▶ 3:10“This is definitely a quicker car than the Fiat. I'm being actually held back a bit.”
positive · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 17:12“with 228 horsepower and just a lot of personality it doesn't take you long to want to start throwing this thing around”

4.5/54 of 4 reviewersstrong consensus“This might literally be one of the best front-wheel drive steering racks I have ever experienced.”
positive · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 16:57“The turning is so sharp and the mid-corner balance is really good. You wouldn't expect a front-wheel drive car to feel that neutral and pointy in the corners.”

critical · Zygrene · ▶ 5:06“the exhaust has this terrible drone, and the suspension going even over some bumps on the highway is harsh and unpleasant.”
critical · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 20:54“suspensions you know it's a firm car it's not gonna exactly give you a plush ride but it will reward I think spirited driving”
