I can agree with every one. Can be driven very sensibly if you don't stomp on the gas.. My GF was very nervous for the first few weeks of driving it - I suggested she take off in 2nd (have an auto) to compensate for the the touchy accelerator and very short 1st gear until she got use to it.

Just watch our for the torque steer if you give it heaps from a standing start. I find the grip is that good - it pulls in what ever direction the steering wheel is pointed -
