Depends on the model I presume. Never had any quarms about my suspension on my SRi, and can still hold corners fairly well against my mates CTR. He used to have the same car as me, and said there wasnt a massive difference in handling, and both got driven to the limit and then some 
Steering is speed sensitive. The quicker you go, the heavier it becomes, again never any problems with mine, but you do get used to driving any car after a while.

i love mine, very responsive but i agree about the light-ish steering feel at high speed, can be a bit unnerving sometimes. nevertheless its always sure footed and its easy to know the limits of the car, bodyroll is pretty minimal too. engine performance is excellent, the engine is well suited to the car. seats are maybe a little firm but very supportive indeed, just needs lumbar support. brakes are brilliant too, very fade resistant hehe, although i am yet to see what its like when the weather warms up. icy cool A/C (very important for me lol ) and enough get-up and go to trouble most of the V6 brigade.
