IMO get a 599! Once you've driven one not much else will compare..

All the best.

not driven any of them, but the 599 must have the technological edge - my only concern is if it feels a touch too heavy and not very nimble.

This is great news. So by the time i'm 28 (9 years time) they will have dropped further and i aim to have one

There was one on ebay that went for 106k. Don't think it had massive miles or anything.

I felt completely different after driving two. One of them for a weekend test drive. Just didn't get it.

Am I the only one who quite liked the 575 superamerica?

[Schermerhorn]

No I think its drop dead gorgeous!

[pistolp]

For me the Superamerica is hideous!

The 599 is too big and heavy as well but I do still get why people love them....

I have been driving the 599 on a number of accasions and it is a big car - very wide. So for London driving it is too big in my opinion. Try to get through the bollards on Hammersmith Bridge as an example. Also, it starts to get impressive when you are close to double the legal speed limit. At normal speeds it is a tad boring to drive without any involvement but above 100mph (alledgedly) it really starts to excel.

I always avoid the bollards at Hammersmith Bridge & at Hogarth flyover. They are a nightmare!!
