Maybe I need to go back and try again.

I do like the interior and the exterior is much more buttoned up and tidy in person than the current car.

Still, if it came down to going forced induction on my current ride, I'd probably opt for the Q60RS instead, add a few choice components and hope there are better tuning solutions on the horizon than what we currently have. Or maybe wait and see if they release a higher spec version.

Did you drive a DAS or non-DAS car?

I was told it was e non-DAS car as I didn't like the necessary options, or the pricing, to get the DAS. So I wanted to drive the non-DAS version to see if it would be livable. And it's livable but it doesn't have the tactile fell of the current car by any stretch of the imagination.

I test drove an Audi S3 which was an impressive car but it too had zero steering feel.

Edit: One thing I left out is that it actually put the power down better, with less wheel spin, than my current car with Pilot Super Sports, pretty much the same size tire in the rear. Still not perfect but worth noting.
