Its not that bad really, in comparison it handles the roads better than an EP3 IMHO, yes it is a tad hard but we are talking, a car that has been designed for smooth roads/track, with the emphasis on fun, not made for the masses, hence is not everyones cup of tea. Its not as hard as my OEM Elise, although the Elise does ride the bumps alot better.
The thing I hate is the steering wheel wayyyyyyyyy to large, its like driving a bus, definetly change that, everything else is excellent, very well built (espeacily compared to the EP3), looks the danglies, fantastic brakes, possibly a bit over servoed, great gearbox (god I miss that), solid power/torque, reasonable fuel economy.
Ah its not RWD, if it were, I think it would be the car for me.
