    If you'd gone for any more options they would have needed to charge you extra for a bigger Personalization plaque!!

    Thanks for your review.

    Surprised to hear you say Pista Spyder is boomy though? Pista coupe is not boomy at all whereas my previous 488gtb was boomy when the valves opened in that lower rev range.

    Media interface is disappointing - agree on that - Porsche's is vastly better and the driver controls are generally far more user friendly and intuitive. It's just an Italian thing.

    Your brakes just require more miles and bedding in that's all - they will get better. Pista's brakes are much more responsive than GTB's. Pista's brakes don't have the same level of precision modulation as the 911 and need a bit more finesse, but they are very strong and reassuring.

    Agree the Pista feels bigger than a Boxster or 911 but after some seat time and mileage behind the wheel it will shrink back to small. It really isn't that big. Give it time. Boxster has always felt small and weildy and is a very easy car to drive fast vs a Pista which requires more skill, input and concentration to tame the power and, extract the huge potential. Pista is certainly a lot of car but rewards in ways the Boxster could never do. Just relax and enjoy that beautiful car!

    I now have almost 600 miles on my Pista and the burbles upon lift off in 3rd or 4th gear sound awesome. It seems to be opening up the more I drive.

    Looks awesome. What color and material are the seats? Does not look like the standard Ferrari red and I've never seen that silver leather before.
