GT, VTR and VTS models better drives

| DRIVING RATING: |
 |
The driving position is good and visibility is fine, with front-window glass which slopes towards the front of the car. Visibility to the rear isn't too bad although the rear window is a little small. On manual cars, the drivetrain is smooth and the gearbox largely unobtrusive, with a short-throw and a little notchiness here and there. SensoDrive models are slightly more difficult to use, especially if you want to swap quickly between first gear and reverse, when you confound the system which stays in its current gear, infuriatingly. VTR models only come with SensoDrive, but the more performance orientated GT and VTS models have a proper manual 'box.
The basic cars aren't much fun to drive at all. Sure, the ride's comfy enough, but this has its drawbacks on the open road where they pitch, wallow and roll unenthusiastically. The VTR/S is a much better proposition, cornering with some composure and resistance to roll. It grips well and, if you're really keen, is quite adjustable on the throttle too.
