Default 2013 grandsport feels "sloppy"

Whats up guys,

Recently picked up a 2013 grandsport with around 30k miles. Car seems to have sat for a couple years in CA before getting sold at auctions and sold to me in SC. All fluids and tires look good and had driven completely normal since I've got it. The issue I'm having is when i get on it, it feels like it wants to kick out/break loose all the time wither I'm in first or fourth. At higher speeds it seems to feel fine but I haven't really pushed it past normal highway 80-85 cruising.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Tires might look good, but check the date codes on them. If they are 5+ years old, they may be getting hard and will lose traction under acceleration. Replace them, as needed.

Hope this helps.
