I think it's superb. I am driving about four times as many miles as I was in my 997, which probably says something.

Hot coffee is not safe and demands the informational warning "contents may be hot and cause severe burns" printed in large, stern letters. Drivers cannot be trusted with the brakes, the steering or these days, even the parking brake is too much autonomy for a typical driver. They can't avoid bumping into things without lane-departure warnings, back-up and (front) bumper sensors and cameras, warning that swerving an SUV can cause a roll-over and still they drive with four to six cup-holders in reach of the driver and need "laws" to convince them to not yack on the phone or text their BFF about their most instantaneous and unfiltered emotions or even the dim blink of a single synapse to be reported in 140 characters or less. They tailgate, they change lanes without indicating (let alone looking) they find motorcycles to be stealth-cloaked and a motorcyclist is nothing more than a gap in the traffic. Yes, they need help with every trivial aspect of their existence -- it is the on-going mistake of western society to protect these Darwinian statistical errors from their timely extinction.
