My main concern is giving up 2/3 of the gears...in fact, the low end torque is so intense it can pop a wheelie effortlessly in the right gear. Will I miss this?
Also, will the weight and friction of gaining an extra pair of wheels slow me down? |

Really? 1M vs a bicycle? OK, fair question. It really is more comfortable than a bicycle. I ride a Ridgeback Flight 02 commuter bike (MTB type geometry on skinny tyres) often in London where road surface is poor. I've never once thought my car was less comfortable.
Even my Honda Civic Type R was more comfortable than my cycle. I have however tried to sit in a Lotus Elise, this is the only car I've been in that is more uncomfortable than a bicycle. |

Sorry I can't be more helpful with the comparison.
