You have to get used to shifting in this car. It's very notchy, and you can't just slam through the gears with the same ease as these BMW's. Another thing that bothered me was the live rear axle. Hitting a bump while going through a turn will unsettle the car a bit. It's hard to describe, but instead of the suspension doing a single compress and rebound, there is some additional jiggling around after you hit a bump like that.
Could it be used as a DD taking into account the ride and noise?
