Advice requested (from GT4 to 570).

Seems like a well specced car, lift is an absolute must, soft close doors just make life a little easier too. Storm Grey looks very classy, nice 'By McLaren' interior, I'd have left the carbon and gone for the B&W sound system, that was thrown in with the Lux Pack, a popular option with an all in deal price too! It would be wise to look into the extended warrantee though... very wise! 
Big thanks - I too have found this thread extremely helpful as I am seriously considering a 570 at the mo - my biggest problem is the missus needs convincing as she loves the AM Vantage (I don't consider them too shabby either), the Evora 430 is also a consideration but I think it vastly overpriced.
Interesting thread.
I’ve just sold my Exige 380 to get into a 570 spider. For me the lotus was too compromised to be used much. But the 570 is a great all rounder that could just about be used as a daily - provided adequate parking space. So I’m hoping it’ll work out to be a better decision than buying the lotus was. Should have known better having had a dodgy back for a few years.
I’ve paid a deposit on a spider in Napier green with carbon interior pack, security pack (inc lift which I need for my driveway), soft close doors and mso titanium exhaust. No lux pack so manual seats and no B&O but no bothered about those. Less weight and less to go wrong.
Here’s hoping for an Indian summer.
