Oh I love if, but from the day I drove it off the lot it always felt like a big GT, not a small car. I owned a used '80s M6 and my mother owned a little 2002 BMW, this car feels a lot more like the "big" GT 80's 6 series.


Its cool, but sometimes I miss the maneuverability. Just for example to relate, its real obvious in a crowded parking lot that this isn't a small car. Even more so on skinny hilly backcountry semi-offroad drives.




But its amazing how well it performs on the interstate compared to something like a first gen Miata.


I think part of the sales problem is it sits at a niche' that the auto world hasn't seen much of, and the low center of gravity that allows good handling with a fairly comfortable ride I don't think its really been done before. Its a bit of a platypus.


To be blunt most morons don't appreciate the uniqueness.
