When I bought my Plus4 (GDi) in 2015 I really fancied a 4/4 - those skinny wheels and lighter weight looked like fun. Then I had a test drive in one and the issue you mention became apparent. I didn't want to have to modify a new car (I was buying new because I could afford it and was busy) so I went with the Plus4 which has a nice amount of power and torque for the (my) real world and returns 40+mpg on a long drive with reasonable running costs and tax. And which has a sublime gearbox which really is a joy to use. Still got the Plus4 and see no reason to change.
