So far I am impressed with the Zippiness of the car.... I have been a passenger more than a driver as of late because the wife is the principal driver of this car. Surprisingly, it feels better as a passenger than a driver. Maybe because I am expecting it to react like the Z and instead, I can just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Handling is firm but forgiving, small amount of body lean in corners. The acceleration is smooth and torquey. Visibility is surprisingly good considering the design, but then again the Z is terrible! Road noise is low and the engine and exhaust note are almost imperceptible... wife loves that, I hate it!
I would give the car an 8 out of 10 for cars in it's class. Loses a point for exhaust note and engine noise (lack of), and loses a point for no automatic temperature control (my other cars have that and I miss it in this one).
