Extra weight is about 70kgs, distributed predominantly to the front which is a bit less interesting for the stability of the yaw but it remains far from a comparable Audi. The centre of gravity is a bit lower which is better for the stability of the roll and the pitch.

It prefers sending power to the back so it's willingness to turn in is only mildly impacted. Also consider that the extra weight is probably not worsening the rotational inertion since it's rather close to the center of gravity. All this makes me think that the vehicle dynamics are not at all compromised.

I'am eagerly awaiting your judgement then, but as for what me concerns, I would be surprised when I would notice it, except for the better traction in 1st and 2nd gear during full acceleration and sharply turned in of course.
