Have had mine on twisties in the Hamptons. It handles them with ease. The IAS really makes a difference on the 7's. But drifts on this one . . .no, not for me. Best car I ever had for drifting was a 1972 Alfa GTV.

As for the controls, after a while you get used to where to go to do what you want. Your muscle memory will adjust. I found using the shortcuts on the screen takes care of 90% of what I need to do.
