Bah!! I learned to drive in a Mustang GT during the winter..Really compared to a Mustang the L is SOOOOO much easier to handle.. It doesn't have the classic, kickout one way, countersteer, now countersteer the other way, syndrome..
L is actually I feel a pretty good vehicle to learn on other than the monsterous torque...It handles great, has enough power to get out of trouble if you know how to(BIG IF I know), and has weight to it..
Comparing the L in the winter to the mustang is NO CONTEST, the L win's hands down...
