Sweet lookin car but...

The engine basically has two positions of operation: on/off. The turbo lag is pretty unbearable and before it spools up the car seriously lacks balls. It has an I5, not a smooth engine. It's decently fast.

Steering and transmission/shifter are nothing to write home about. Not really too much feel. Good grip from awd.

We test drove one last year. Not impressed. Overall, its an adequate performer but it's very crude. Just another Ford in my book.
