Absolutely! It doesn't feel heavy at all. It feels more planted and willing to change direction than the F80 to me. The steering is much more reactive and immediate, especially off center. As these cars get heavier, the manufacturers seem to get better at masking the weight. Also, I think the damping is much better than the F80 and it really soaks up the bumps and is less crashy than the older car.
