Well, after having mine for 3 weeks (and 3500 miles!!) I would say that a center console delete might be in my future as I am 6'3" and it gets old having my leg always resting against the console.....also still having to practice taking off in first quickly without either bogging or slipping the clutch....not as easy as most cars....still hasn't become second nature yet......

I also agree with that, also traction control is HORRIBLE, always bogs down and cuts the power, im use to again getting in my M3 and immediately turning traction off, i feel much safer which might sound like an oxymoron, but i am very confident and can handle the tail coming out at most speeds or conditions.

In this car i guess a little different having a lot of weight in the rear, which makes it very unpredictable with traction off and if your caught off guard and use to RWD where it basically tells you how much traction you have or when the tail will let out, its deceiving and can be very bad.
