How are the tires treating you?
The Quatrac 5 tires are working out great. I have put nearly 7,000 miles on them and NVH is low and and overall grip is excellent for a grand touring tire. Last week I was driving the car on the interstate in a moderate rain; I wasn't paying attention to the speedometer(easy to do in an R55 Mini) and when I did glance over at it I found I was cruising at over 85 mph. The car felt solid as a rock- the tires performing as if the road was bone dry.
Thank you for the update!
P.S. If you with your driving experience could not sense the car going quicker, hmmmm..., that makes for a pretty comfortable little car
It's a great daily driver; it's fun to drive but it doesn't beat you to death.
