In my experience, it does not corner well at speed. Meaning that comfort and civility were more heavily weighted than skidpad performance during the design process.
But its performance on washboard roads and dealing with heavy bumps and potholes is quite admirable, at least compared to a bone stock and poorly-maintained 13 year old Miata.
I wonder if the local dealer would let me test drive an ND out on County Line Road?

Looks like I'm going back to the land of being a boring Suburbanite. Just had my offer accepted on a home only a few miles from work (OKC is INCREDIBLY spread out), so I'll be giving up my swanky downtown apartment and my girlfriend's house just sold so she is moving in with me this weekend.
OKC is one of the strongest job markets in the country right now and the housing market is showing that. I have lost multiple homes to bidding wars, going under contract before I can look, or people not willing to accept counteroffers.
House has been completely remodeled. Like completely. None of this paint and new carpet stuff. All new kitchen and bathrooms, new flooring in every room, new paint, windows, water tank, all of the HVAC, etc. Has a smallish backyard, but an oversized two car garage, ridiculous 18' vaulted ceilings with windows in the master and living space.
I'm super happy to get out of an apartment and back into a house. It will be my 6th address in 2.5 years since my divorce in 2015. I'm super excited.

I'm right there with ya. Enjoying having a house a yard, etc. Though ironically I barely see the place, seems like I've been at Julia's every night this week.
