Matt, if you ever get a change to drive one of these I suggest you take it. Yes, there is a whole myriad of good-handling fwd cars but I have been absolutely blown awayu by the zed. The suspension, steering and brakes are so confidence inspiring - it is nothing short of brilliant. The V6 is an absolute peach - really torquey low down and very revvy when you give it the beans thanks to the 7k red line. I've had far more fun in the last two days than I did in either my MR2 or the Supra over the last two years. It handles better than my Mk1 hands down.
I have driven one, I drove one for about 5-6 laps of Brands hatch and was completely unimpressed with everything other than how comfy and solid it felt.
