718 GTS pick up day...

Bonjourno,

After a 6 month wait I finally picked the 718 up this morning, bit hot but soooooo brilliant to be able to drive it back from Nottingham with the roof down and no rain.

Bit of a marmite car I know with the 4 pot 2.5 turbo lump and while it isn’t as tuneful as the old 981 it’s still a great exhaust note, just not what so called ‘purists’ like....

Well it’s simple, don’t like it, don’t buy it, end of. But to overlook a 718 just because it’s not what we’re used to is silly imho, the rest of the car is utterly fantastic. Personally I love it and as I’m paying that’s all there is to it...

365bhp and 420 NM is more than enough.

All comments welcome from nice to shite, doesn’t rattle me so fire away guys and gals.

Lovely. I'm hunting a 981 S at the moment. Cannot wait to find the right one.

Enjoy!

Love the wooden seats so you can admire the car while having a beer

It'd be a brave person to say that your new motor is anything else but lovely. Enjoy her.

If a flat four pot was good enough for the fantastic Impreza P1, then it's more than good enough for some old bag a bolts from Porsche.

Cracking car John, Enjoy.
