    It's a great drive, it just feels like a BMW should do, quality.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    My last car was a civic vti and this is quicker. It's quick enough to lose your license, tremendous power delivery for the straight six. When pushed the it feels just right. You're doing 100mph and this car wants so much more.
