Just remember that these cars are not selling, and their values appear to be dropping like mad at the moment, so it’s a buyers market. Dealers might suggest there are no discounts, but there certainly are!

The 5 year service plan is a good saving and would give the impression that you might be a long term customer ?? A good negotiating position making it easy for the dealer to help you on the price ?

Collected mine yesterday. Championship white, no options.

What a wonderful car. Better in every way than I expected.

It has a really special feel and character and for me is worth every penny to have something this good.

For me it’s a keeper along with my Abarth and 4.0 GTS Boxster.

Congratulations and enjoy, I still feel the same about mine 6 months in.

On Sunday I drove it following a 2 week holiday and laughed out loud after pushing round a sequence of bends - it's easy to get complacent about the car's abilities when used as a daily (which I do) and it was nice to be reminded the handling is something special.

I would describe it as stiff (as in stiff bodyshell, which I say as a positive) rather than simply firm.

The body feels like it's staying flat when cornering, but I don't find it too firm at all (and I'm in my 50's!) in Comfort mode - let's put it this way, apart from avoiding potholes as we all do, I don't drive around worrying about the road surface as the car isn't bouncing around.

Having said that R+ mode is way too firm for the road, Sport is between the two (probably closer to Comfort than R+), and Individual allows you to mix chassis, steering, engine and dashboard settings.

The main benefit of the excellent body control is that it gives you confidence about how the car is going to react to your inputs - it doesn't get all loose and out of sorts through say a sequence of bends.
