The seats carry much for ride comfort. You are comfortable and yet provide much lateral support, because the cheeks of the seat and backrest adjustment. For the rest of the good feeling that this vehicle to master, the crisp six-speed transmission at the same circuit as the steering. There are not many steering systems on the market - perhaps none at all - similar to respond spontaneously, as accurately, and the driver the road mediate contact, which the Sporting dreams.
