Understeers hard into corners and is rather unruly coming out. I was in the market for a special sort of car and ended up with an Elise over the atom and a seven I think the brz is an amazing normal car up there with the miata but the elise is the ultimate slow car fast. The atom seems like a compromised fast car/spaceship. Fwiw, most of this info came from a person who was at the time selling an atom and an Elise and he steered me towards the elise based on these facts.
