For a different view....these are awful to drive compared to the 124 Abarth. That's a much better drivers car.

Unsurprisingly, given the latter is an MX-5 :wink:

I test drove a 695 Rivale nearly three years ago - I really enjoyed it but ended up buying a Mini at a later date instead.

Always fancied a 595 or 695. They also seem to sound so good.
What are some of the common issues?
