Can S14 200SX be made to hussle??

[Pierscoe1]

I have an MX5 at the moment, which is ver nimble, and accurate, if a little underpowered..

I am sorely tempted by an S14, for the grunt, good but restrained styling, 4 seats (sort-of), and solid roof....

is it going to feel like a barge down a country lane?
I hope to get a test-drive in this week, but want some idea before-hand....

all comments/tips/suggestions/info greatly appreciated..

well yes.. of course, but I'd like to know what they're like as standard... are they ok as-is for fast-road use?? or are the all smooth-quiet-ride and no handling?

they seem to be quite light for the size of car.. 1260kg ish which would suggest a not-too-lardy persuasion...

what is turn-in like? do they settle quickly into turns, or are you forever second-guessing the weight-transfer?

>just don't get caught by the turbo coming on song

are they tricky in the dry as well??
heard stories of, and quite obviously they are, a bit tricky in the wet, but then 200bhp rwd is always going to be entertaining on a wet roundabout!!
