As a result of these differences, the four-cylinder version delivers a softer ride and lighter steering. During our short drive around Michigan we didn’t get a chance to thoroughly test the handling, but on a few twisty roads the V-6’s 19-inch Hankook Optima tires made the ride relatively firm. They also exhibited better grip and did a better job of translating road feel.
