Reviewers note the shifter has an “old-school feel” with “jusssst a bit of notchiness” that adds to the mechanical experience .
Variable Speed-Sensitive Electronic Power Steering:
The steering feels natural and precisely accurate—”heavy in the same way manual steering usually is” at low speeds, without the artificial feel common in modern systems . With 2.5 turns lock-to-lock, turn-in is “amazingly immediate” and the machine “just goes where it’s pointed” .
Vehicle Hill Hold:
Standard Hill Hold Control detects uphill and downhill start situations, automatically holding the vehicle for roughly two seconds after releasing the brake pedal, allowing the driver to simply press the throttle and go .
