The car is marketed as a luxury sports sedan. It has all the bells and whistles, has awesome power and handling. But it is a rough, sports car ride. It does not handle bumps or uneven roads well. I was hoping to get the power and performance, along with a nice smooth ride. This car doesnt have it.Feb 28, 2024
