Looks like a nice car, mind.

The advertiser's language may be a little OTT in describing the nature of the car but perhaps he is making a valid point.

If all you've been used to is a modern quick "hot" hatchback then you get into a 5.0 Chimaera then you might well be surprised by both the performance and handling.

When I first got ours I was forever spinning the rears in the wet. Errrm. And the dry. Errrm and because I felt like it. winkbiggrinredface
