The stages are very fast and snowbanks are hard... keeping the bodywork in one piece will be hard, but very important this time.

Really positive shakedown for Rally Sweden the car is feeling great, bring on the rally ! 🤩
I've been hyper critical of Msports /the Puma's reliability, but does anyone also think the car doesn't look right, or look that driveable? Maybe it'll take a few events for Tanak to find the optimal setups with a few upgrades.
It's something I noticed pre Monte, during Monte and even in Sweden tests. I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as some on here about the actual dynamics of a car, and gauging through the 'eye test' can be a hit or a miss, but the car doesn't seem that well planted and it looks like it rolls a fair bit? Whereas that Yaris is absolutely glued to road.
*watch Tanak go and dominate the rally and win with ease now :)
Looking at Puma I mostly think of Focus 06-08. That car looked extremely sluggish and "slow". Yet it was just driving on rails and arguably was the best car of the period.
Yaris always looks more reactive, while still stable. Like a go-cart.
I20 seems to change from reactive to sluggish every other corner.
