Appreciate anyone's thoughts who has made this switch or driven both cars for a decent amount of time, in order to have an informed opinion. I've read all the reviews and watched all the videos I can about the 296, but always appreciate the thoughts of the people on this forum.

I live in the north of Scotland and have access to great roads. I don't need to commute to work, drive on motorways and I don't track my cars. My cars are used on weekends only and a few road trips per year (with wife). Photo of Evo on ferry in western isles this summer, attached to show it can be done.

I've owned 430, 458, 488 and F12 prior to the Evo RWD. As well as the Evo (used April-Sep only), my garage currently has a 992 GT3 Touring (which I use year round) and a Gen 2 GR Yaris (for when it's wet/salt on roads).

I've had the Evo for three years and 5,000 miles. I still love it, but a) it's difficult to road trip in and b) itchy feet - always want to try the next thing.

I've seen a few 296s in the flesh and really like the way it looks (v. important to me) and from the reviews, people say it sounds and drives great (also v. important). I know it's not going to match the Evo V10 sound though. Depreciation is not a huge concern (I would only ever buy used, so hopefully dodge most of the hit that the 296 appears consigned to suffer). A test drive is not an option, unless a dealership will give me a 296 for a long weekend and 500 miles...

Anyone made the switch I'm contemplating and willing to share their thoughts, especially if it's not to do it ?

Thanks all.
