Can't argue with most of above quote although for me it adds to the experience. I think the "twitching at every gearchange" relates to the dual mass flywheel something I noticed within a couple of miles of collecting the car from new. Certainly, should you be foolish enough

, it's possible to loose traction on the straight at around 60 mph in third on wet roads as the full torque kicks in, although I'm close to needing new tyres.
