I meant to edit my earlier rating/post but I don't know how. So adding a new one here.
After spending time testing this car, I think I get why there is divided and seemingly conflicting comments about the grip levels. Some say it has too little grip, others say it has too much. Both are right. :)
It has very low grip on the front, so it is very easy to lock-up and understeer. It can therefore be very frustrating to attack corners and the car requires some restraint on corner entry. As such, it demands exquisite trail braking.
On the other hand, it has too much rear grip. I can get on the throttle early, without being careful about how much, and not worry about losing the back. I rarely have to correct a rear slide. Liftoff oversteer is very easy to tame. It happens, but the momentum of the tail is easy to catch because the rear tires grip. In other small cars with skinny tires, catching with the throttle often makes things worse.
Anyway, just my attempt at understanding the two sides to this conversation...
