The ride is nice, it rides alot more like a 4X4 than a car now but it is still pretty maneuverable in traffic. It's still a daily driver in Chicago traffic and I haven't had any problems. Swerved to avoid traffic the other day and took it from the middle lane to the shoulder and 55mph or so to zero in a few seconds and she held on for me. I expected to be far off into the grass when it happened but was really surprised at how it handled the situation.
