Got it!

I am now the proud owner of "Little Mo" - I got her last Sunday. I have some questions - is it normal to feel like you are sliding all over the road?

I drive 30 miles one way to work, and most of it is rural highway. The roads are two lane, and quite curvy, so I need to slow down to 55 on the curves, and then up to 60 to 65 on the straight ways. Anything over 65 feels uncomfortable (like I am out of control).

Is this normal?

It's a little car with a short wheelbase. It takes some time to get used to, I have to say for me, it was about 200 miles to understand how the car reacts on the highway. Stay with it, you will grow together!
