In terms of physical activity and steering characteristics, the car is pleasant to drive. After a day of testing, I am no longer in pain – thanks to my physical preparation, I was able to work through the day to the end.
I liked the car – it was fun to drive. We tested a lot and I hope this helped the team. Overall I am satisfied.”
