I drive an fn2 type R everyday and the flatness of the chassis is just what makes an R. The cars feel super direct and perfectly controllable. Some people dont like it because the car is stiff, but because of that they are a blast to drive. My car is already 15 years old so I can only imagine how the development has continued and how superb this car will handle! Great car and as always a great honest review!😎 Greetings from the other side of the ocean in the netherlands✌🏼

I have the feeling that anyone who comments "FWDs arent fun" have never driven a modern high end FWD. When I got my 22 i30N, I couldnt believe just how good it drives; I mean, you can slide this thing on all 4 tires through a corner. Modern drivetrains, suspension and tires make these things just incredibly these days.

This first drive review talks about feeling everything through the steering. On the other hand, the Throttle House review makes a point to say the car has no steering feel while showing Thomas really struggling with the steering. I'm a fan of both channels, but such wildly different impressions.

I also was thinking I'd be in a gt3 by now, I'm at the stage where I want something fun, reliable, polished, that I can daily drive if needed, has a big boot, rear doors for kids, an amazing gearbox, and I think this just ticks all the boxes, Euros as amazing as they are, are expensive, the image is also a bit to hey lookat me, servicing is not cheap, and the performance is just so high that on the street it is hard to have a good time without doing triple digit speeds, this is just the sweet spot, and at 70k aud, we'll the s2k 20 years ago also cost 70k aud, so it's not as crazy as it sounds, great review !

@msbrownbeast Жыл бұрын

The integrated tach/speedometer seems hard to read. IMHO, two round guages (one for tach, one for speedometer) might be preferred by some drivers. Also I think that protruding touch screen sticks out too much and may actually intefere with the driver's line of sight.
