I have a test on how well a car handles. It is a particular left hand turn that most of my cars required me to brake before completing. Only my previous Mini Cooper and now my FRS allow me to make the turn without braking, and the FRS at a much higher speed. Some of you may remember the Lotus Élan which was an anemic powered sports car built in the 60's. It used to beat higher powered sports cars on road courses because it handled so well, including Porsches. The FRS is the spiritual successor to the Lotus.
