Driving characteristics (Ponton 220 SE Coupé, with sunroof)

Engine/drivetrain: Solid, even power delivery for relaxed cruising; at full throttle, rather gentle performance than sportiness. Typical 2.2-liter six-cylinder, reliable but not exactly a powerhouse.
Transmission: 4-speed manual transmission; quiet and smooth, with little sporty engine noise at higher speeds.
Steering: Direct, with good feedback, but slightly more difficult to handle when stationary or at low speeds; stable on the motorway at speeds of 120+.
Suspension/relaxed driving: Comfort-oriented setup for long distances; front suspension unsprung/firm, leaf springs at the rear, with a tendency to lean sideways in corners at high speeds.
Very pleasant long-distance drive.
Brakes: Hydraulic disc brakes were not available – in the Ponton era, drum brakes were typical.
Good, readily available braking performance in moving traffic, but not a modern braking feel.
Steering and seating comfort: Generous seating height, good forward visibility; the sunroof affects noise levels and rigidity.
Long-distance character: Very suitable for relaxed cruising; a high, quiet cruising speed is possible, but it is not a dynamic sports car.

Very rare color combination, a real visual and technical delight.

Before delivery, the coupe will receive a new TÜV inspection and H-approval without defects
