weight and suspension...

The M4 had more carbon fiber and other weight saving parts. The M2 had to cut cost somewhere. And even though it is shorter, it is almost as wide as a 3. It's bigger than I expected. It is nimble but visually, you are still aware that it is not a small car. (This could be due to me switching from the Elise)

The suspension is fine IMO. I head to the track about the same as you, and I don't think I'll need to upgrade to coilovers. Most reviews complain that they are too harsh to begin with. I had adjustable bilsteins on Lotus and never really tinkered with it anyways. I'm not racing for time, so I just want something reliable and drive-able as a DD. And the M2 shocks are more comfortable than even the Abarth that I had.
