IMO, very little body roll in Sport mode and certainly not rolling over on tight turns at speed. Probably not on rails though as that is how I would characterize the cornering of a true sports car or smaller sports sedan. It tracks very sure and confident around corners.

Mine came with Bridgestone summer "touring" tires and I think it would be even better with high performance summer tires. I recently changed to performance winter tires (Blizzak LM-25) for the season and I like the handling even better which has been a pleasant surprise.

I would be happy with either.
the power button hold the rpm a bit higher for more aggressive driving

As soon as the feeding frenzy stops, I'm going to test drive one. It is a bit bothersome that I have to upgrade to a $10,000 L package just to get a decent suspension.

Last car I drove that cornered as if it was on rails was an Audi A6 with a 4.2 l V8.

then i guess the 550 would be even more impressive. i drove both and the 550 is quite a bit better on handling
