Does anyone have experience of these? I've just come back from a test drive in one and wow, what a car!
The way it really pushes you back in your seat even at relatively low revs is great after the lack of torque in the 197, the way it rides over bumps in the road is so well controlled. It feels like a luxury, well built car that will happily cruise on the motorway but at the same time you still feel attached to the road and feel it would be great fun on the right road. I was more impressed than I expected.
However, the one I drove had the SMG gearbox and I'm not convinced on it. Unfortunately I didn't really have the chance to properly play with the gearbox so not sure if I would enjoy it or not. It would be great for my commute which is through town but when I want to enjoy driving properly I'm just not sure.
