Just recently, I bought 458 Italia and I sold my R8 V10 (R-Tronic) So far my options are. Jaguar F-Type S Porsche Carrera S Porsche Cayman GT4 I'm looking for something to enjoy driving, I had Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged (2014) It's really nice In terms of exterior/Interior but Handling/Braking It's not as I expected Your suggestions are welcome..
Where does your enjoyment come from? If it's driving dynamics give an M4 a test drive, doesn't sound nice but it shines in handling.
Yep driving dynamic and light weight cars , As for example Scuderia but It's useless to have it next to 458 as a car can drive it daily. I'll test the M4
+1 It has looks, performance, reliability, good dealer network and an enviable place in sports car history...T
I vote for the AMG GTS. I have had one for about three weeks now and have enjoyed it more than any other car I have driven. It seems like a good complement to your 458.
If you are looking for something to enjoy driving with, I can almost guarantee you the Cayman GT4 will be the one for you according to what I've read. The F-Type S has a glorious exhaust note but it's too heavy, and Carreras are everywhere. The GT4 seems to be a lighter, smaller version of the 911 GT3, so it will probably be the most engaging of the group to drive. Hope you're okay with a manual transmission though...no automatic/paddle shifters offered on the GT4.
Today I took the F-Type for 2 hours as test drive, I turn traction control off. And Its so heavy makes it a bit unpredictable , I was confidence what she will do I returned it and told him It's not for me. The only problem I have with GT4 that It's manual so In traffic I'll have to get use to that but since I love challenging my self, I think she will be next. You prefer carrera or cayman In terms of handling and weight ? Any recommendation for a light weight car that Is fun to drive and looks good next to 458? Thanks <3
That's a near religious debate among Porsche owners I know, but I would vote for the mid-engine Cayman, despite being in love with my 911...T
I'm still hesitating between Carrera and Cayman , And I haven't test AMG GTS but the fact that I can pay extra more and be able to buy Ferrari FF for the price Is stopping me from pulling the trigger, Anyone test driven AMG GTS?
In my city It's full of traffic , So It's gonna be a pain in the ass for a manual till they release a PDK version.
Don't really want to start an argument, but traffic sucks no matter which transmission you drive. Of course, I've never been to Lebanon and am not sure how it compares to what we can be subject to in the Raleigh and Charlotte areas of NC, but I'm in stop and roll traffic with a clutch pedal a lot and never find myself longing for two pedals. Porsche made the decision to offer the Cayman GT4 exclusively with the manual because you can no longer get a 911 GT3 with three pedals. The GT3 is more of a track car, whereas the GT4 is more of a blast-around-on-empty-back-roads kind of car, so I don't really see them offering a PDK anytime soon. If the manual transmission is going to be too much, I'd recommend looking elsewhere, but I'm sure you'll find it more involving when you're not on congested roads than a PDK car.
This may seem like a stupid question, but does tooling around Lebanon in a Ferrari or Porsche make you a target for kidnappers, or do people assume you are someone very important and give you a wide berth like China?
As much as heard there will be a PDK on Cayman GT4 but that's will ruin the sales for the GT3 so not sure, However to me what counts Is the weight of the car since traction will be off or semi-off so when I tried that In F-Type I didn't enjoy it much since It felt so heavy. I'll test drive the GT4 though any recommendation of light weight one that u can enjoy on corners? Not since you won't go to poor places with a 458..
