Acceleration could be described as "leisurely" — the Lokus takes upwards of 7.5 seconds to reach 100 km/h (62mph). Its top speed, 280 km/h (174 mph), is similarly disappointing, as it is the second-slowest four-door sedan in the game (The [[Karin]] [[Dilettante]] being the slowest). Needless to say, it is unfit for racing. Handling is unresponsive and suspension is much too firm, resulting in a surprising amount of understeer. Braking is well below average, although ABS is available. Crash deformation is average to below average, and build quality is quite shoddy; the Lokus cannot sustain much damage before becoming unusable. Overall, the car is fit only for unhurried street driving. | ||
