| Acceleration comments | Not easy to get off the line (0-10mph) quickly -- wheelspin is difficult to modulate or achieve (bog or boil). However, gears 1-3 are very closely spaced which helps accelerate. But is out of character in this car. |
| Braking rating | Average |
| Braking comments | Soft, long-travel pedal doesn't inspire confidence in emergency braking. |
| Handling rating | Average |
| Handling comments | Tons of suspension/tire wind-up and springback makes fast transitioning impossible. Feels like it's balanced on a ball and falling one way or the other as it transitions left/right and back. Not rewarding in any way. |
