FD Handling Characteristics?
My first car was a '91 N/A MR2, which I then later upgraded to an AP1 S2000. I haven't exactly driven the most forgiving cars on the road, but my driving experience is still very limited so I suppose it makes no difference.
Anyways, just how exactly does the Fd handle? Is it fairly forgiving to a novice driver? I plan on doing some autocross regardless (if insurance works out) to get a feel for and get some experience under my belt, but that is a long way off.
I've seen a few threads about young owners, mostly the concern seems to be keeping up with maintenance.

The aspect of the FD that's not easy for beginning drivers is the turbo transition. At 4500rpm the power kicks in pretty good and if you're going for a big exit you need to be aware of that possibility.
These cars have a lot of bushings and pillowballs, so for handling's sake expect to replace some/many of those too.
