That's a friggin fantastic analogy! Especially for the FoST in urban commuting duty. On smooth roads, it's not nearly as sketchy and unpredictable or FWD torque steerey like so many cars of the past. On uneven, broken, rutted, and oddly cambered roads that you find in urban environments and a bit of the suburbs, that same stuff makes the car do weird things. You can't stomp it in traffic without paying attention.

But man, I really like that eager puppy on a leash visual. So much truth.
