Coming from a much smaller car, and as someone who loves small cars and loathes big cars...
The ITS drives small. It doesn't feel big when you are cruising, and it certainly doesn't when you are pushing it.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but:
Let's say I prep the car for storage... disconnect the battery, latch the hood, etc.
when I come back in the spring, how do I unlock the car? It must need the battery connected to unlock, right (since we only get a fob)? But, I can't connect the battery...
Preach. 99% of the difference in feeling comes down to a sub-$300 ADS module that can be swapped with ease. Neither car is a race car; both cars are excellent dailies.
Yeah, not sure why one would buy this car if they were mainly interested in 0-X times, haha. FWD is not the answer from a stop (might be able to get something decent if you gut it, I suppose).
