Ride jittery compared to GT.Plenty fast enough Easy to get out of in garage.Measured width of car and garage.40inches spare. Painted white lines 25 inch from wall on driver's side and 15 inches on passenger side.With door set at 74 about 5 inches spare.Lined up lines on forward camera with those in garage to get correct position

Jittery as in slippery or jittery as in bouncy?

Autocar described it as a constant shimmy.Noticed it on motorway drive after collection.Some bounce on bumpy roads. GT demo I took out did not exhibit any of these on my drive.Motoring journalists seem to have mixed opinions.

So its dependent on car. Hope it's something easily fixed. Like bump stops and not something like Caster Angle. I guess theyll need a few people complaining to offer a fix for that. Possibly a fault in the suspension setup.

More model dependent than car Ride still comfortable just prefer more tied down feel of GT owing to its weight

Would the 5% extra weight of the GT really make that much difference to the "tied down feel"?

When I switch between Comfort and Sport (GT) and the front motor comes into play the overall feel in my opinion is improved. Of course its more power, but ignoring that (hard to do) focusing on the handling department it seems a bit more composed. The entry and exit of corners feels more precise and the suspension a bit more composed feeling as well. It feels more responsive on the throttle (not mashing the throttle as I know its now 2 motors) ? but even with gentle input. I like the feel of the front end in sport mode as opposed to Comfort mode. All while trying to ignore the added power and just assessing the dynamic ride and handling behavior. I drive primarily with Comfort but tap into Sport briefly on most rides. I've left it in Sport on longer rides and as expected the increased energy consumption is noticeable. The efficiency in Comfort driving "modestly" is impressive. Finally the Cyberster exhibits some slight delay with the throttle actuation at times and when lifting off I can feel a slight delay before the regen kicks in. The delays are indeed very minor. (I compare with my dual motor Tesla.) 6000 km on the Cyberster and all good.

Matt Watson complained of the same thing on the GT on his review!

 

[SunriseJak]

Yes, I feel a tiny bit of the "squirliness" too at times but it only seems to manifests itself in Comfort mode for me. In actual fact its hardly noticeable to spoil the ride. I think the handling overall is admirable given the "mission".

Just seen it for the first time at EE, is a very pretty car!
