I don't think that’s a reflection of most folks experience with the car.

It's obviously not as responsive in the air as a XX4/SX/X5 belt type car due to the ultra light transmission, but its never a problem getting it to jump flat on all but the worst laid out jumps.

The standard layout is perfectly fine.
