| Acceleration comments | Enjoys a bit of wheelspin on the launch when VSC is shut off. That said, the EX is dead consistent, shifts smartly at redline (but not harshly) and power doesn't wane as redline approaches. |
| Braking rating | Very Good |
| Braking comments | Confident, consistent and powerful brakes that showed very little signs of fading. Minimal dive and every stop was arrow-straight. |
| Handling rating | Very Good |
| Handling comments | Skid pad: VSC is not truly "off" and slight brake intervention combines with throttle closing to maintain intended path. Excellent steering load and information. Very good balance and the rear wants to play, but is ultimately checked by VSC. Slalom: Very little difference between VSC on/off speed, however, the EX feels less encumbered when the VSC is switched off. Well-tuned VSC applies brakes subtly and effectively. Excellent, crisp turn-in, very good weight transfer and enthusiastic RWD character that rewards throttle manipulation. |
