Too much grip
I find it funny that a lot of the more critical reviews of our car (and now the 135) is that it grips too well.
I know a sloppy, tail happy car is fun, even when its slow, but I find it very exciting that I either can’t find the limit or don’t have the balls to in many situations in this car. I have gotten it to oversteer but it takes quite a beating to get there. To me the thing is a weapon, point and shoot and yeah I can see that being boring, just add another 10mph to your entry and if that’s not enough, add another 10. You’ll find a point of terrifying enjoyment. |

Haha that's really good to hear. I am used to my modified e60 which "corners on rails" as it's setup. I can get the rear to start kicking out on the e60 during very very aggressive cornering. I've let up on the X2 much earlier because the higher center of gravity makes me chicken out.. it feels like it'll start breaking free any minute (but hasn't yet). I think more seat time in more remote areas will let me test the limit.. but right now no opportunities and I am definitely scared to match my e60 performance right now.

The only thing I have found even slightly unsettling is the torque steer, but I drove a gen 1 Ford Taurus SHO so no amount scares me greatly anymore, that thing would torque steer you into a ditch if you weren’t paying attention.

Funny you mention that because my WRX while grippy and awesome in the snow, did tend to slide around whenever I wanted it to, my X2 grips and does great in the rain, will be excited to see what it does in the snow
