Its like a go kart with a shell 
, the steering is light and feel Japanese on MRS but you know exactly what it is doing 
Never really get it power slided cos of the grip level is so high, i had tried to drift it in the car park but no success,
Was doing around 50mph, turn in hard and full throttle but still no sucess.
Didnt try the handbrake becos that my car
Or maybe i am not brave enough
The mid-engine car has mighty level of grip and very well balanced,
but you got to be careful when in rain, they are very tail happying
