I'm still amazed when I read the reviews of the XFire and they say:

1.Not very quick (they must have never hit the "go fast" button under the accelerator- it will throw me back in the seat every time);
2. Not quick steering (they want quick and smooth or jerky?);
3. Absorbs bumps well (mine doesn't);
4. Comfortable seats (the bolsters and wings squeeze the heck out of my butt, ribs and shoulders)

I'm working on the seats with back supports that raise me out of the bolsters and wings a tad. I get used to the harsh ride when I know I can go straight fast or corner with so little lean compared to ANYTHING in this price range. And there's not a better looking car on the road (OK, maybe the new Jags are close).
