Test drove the SE with the 5 speed auto. Excellent power in first three gears and the transmission is responsive. The manual shifting mode allows you to keep RRPM's up throughout turns and enables you to accelerate nicely out of turns. Handling is good but not up to sports car standards. The low profile tires help cornering but they do not help absorb bumps. The design (inside and out) is top notch.
