As for Volkswagen sports cars, anyone else remember the Karman Ghia? Volkswagen Karmann Ghia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many twisty roads. I have noticed leaving cars behind when I floor it. It's almost the same way the Mustang leaves cars behind at 50% throttle. I've never been on a road in the Mustang, and wished I had the Insight, or been in the Insight and preferred it to the Mustang. The road grip in the RE92s and body roll is terrible compared to the Mustang. The squishy feeling is just terrible, in my opinion. Road feel and grip is much weaker in the Insight.
