I drive mine in moderate traffic and yes it can tax the left leg but since I put in the new clutch it is about 50% softer. This car is useless in the snow unless you have good snow tires and even then the problem is clearance more than anything. The car still shines like new by not driving it in the winter !

I drive mine daily when the weather is nice. Love every minute of the commute. Two observations:

1) The engine takes 10+ minutes to warm up, so I can't even get on it until I reach the end of the commute.

2) I don't have any stop and go traffic to deal with. If I did, the heavy clutch would certainly take the joy out of the drive.

I wouldn't dream of taking my beast out in the snow, so it gets stored for the winter.
