Pretty sure I'm in love with this car.
This has to be the first automatic I've ever thoroughly enjoyed. However, these runflats SUCK and they were the one component of the car that held me back on the immensely fun twisties in NC. I'm of the mindset that the performance wheel/tire package should be a standard feature on a Q50 Sport. If I had to pick one thing to change about my car, it would be that I went ahead and sprung for that feature rather than waiting to Band-Aid it later.
I also sort of wish I had gotten the Nav package, but that's the only other minimal nitpick I could muster. Running around up there with no cell signal is the only reason for that desire as well, and I'm rarely in areas that remote.
I can't believe how well this platform manages its weight. I didn't feel much body roll at all. I left all the nannies on as I still don't have a ton of seat time with the car, and it likes to get tail happy (largely due to its lack of limited slip differential - I was mistaken that a Q50S came with one of these instead of going with the trend of using brakes for torque vectoring). I didn't want to chance going off the side of a mountain due to a silly mistake or something. The car did, however, feel like it was 300lbs heavier than my Z - not a bad thing, but noticeable.
I will have some GoPro footage to drop on here once I get more time after this hellacious work week I have.
