F56 5-door Reviewed by EVO Magazine

Edit: 5-door is actually called F55.
Just watched the review of the new F55 5-door by EVO. I haven't driven an F56 yet but the general consensus seems to be that the F56 has gone soft. I'm more in the camp of the F56 is more refined and easier to live with. Anyway you can check out the review here:

I agree 99% with the review. I have no issues with the steering feel, although the clutch feel puts me off a bit. I think the handling is near perfect, and have 0 issues with the interior.
