Driving "The Ultimate Driving Machine"....
I was brought up in Mk2 Escorts and am no stranger to rear wheel drive. I am able if not a little wreckless and would happily ban all front wheel drive vehicles from the road. The uninformed tell me..."whatch out on the corners in that", "take your time in the wet" etc etc. Honestly, without putting a jinx on myself but you would have to drive like an utter wanker to spin one of these off the road. the handling in wet or dry conditions is very very stable and very reassuring. Even pulling out of junctions turning sharply in wet conditions in sport mode and being "enthusiastic" is barely enough to light up the DSC on the dash. With this turned off the car is still immensley solid on the road and honestly you would have to be a dick to loose it. This is an absolute credit to the car it has fantastic traction.
The handling on corners is very balanced and feels very stable. Adjustments in mid corner are possible with no chance at all of upsetting the traction. On the motorway this is easily the most balanced and stable car I have ever driven. My Audi was brilliant, this is fantastic. 90mph feels like 60mph. No wind noise, no road noise, no engine noise, no stress. If anything it feels a tad heavy at speed, this is obviosly much better than it feeling light. I did a 270 mile round trip on motorway 99% and it was an absolute pleasure.
Power...loads of it in Sport mode. Ample in the others. No problems here.

Overall....I'm very happy. I'm even starting to not miss my Audi !

Once again, sorry for the ipad spelling and capital letter issues. i'm not a motoring journalist (obviosly) and this is just a quick 20 minutes typing as it came to the top of my tiny little mind.
Would I get one of these cars? Yes, too bloody right I would!!

Any questions, please ask!!!
