So, the missus and I are looking for our next car and lucky enough to be in the position to buy something interesting up to £100k. We had a day in the 570s and thought I'd make write a brief view on how amazing this car is. First off, the looks in the metal/carbon are stunning, especially so from the front, maybe not so much from the rear. The lambo doors add real drama and theatre to the whole event, but I do wonder whether these would get on your tits as we will use this as a daily driver most of the time. The build quality surprised me, the whole thing felt very well put together, not what I thought it might be given the internet horror stories and from my experience of my only previous British car (TVR Sagaris). People genuinely look at this car as well, way more than a Porsche or Aston...it's a real event for people in the same way a Lambo or Ferrari turns heads.
But's that's the stuff you already know, so how does it drive compared to the MC. Well, as you'd expect it's on a different planet...the handling....it's unbelievable, staggering, you can enter roundabouts at 70mph and whip round the corner like it's on rails...it's simply mind blowing stuff. Zero understeer and instills confidence in you in such a short space of time. The ride quality with the carbon tub and suspension is also on another level...you could drive 6 hours and feel fresh after with little problem. The noise, well that's very subjective....my missus really liked it, the V8 is not too shouty, but has the whoos'es from the turbos and in some ways feels a little old school in the way they build up. I think the Z4MC sounds better with the Gruppe M. The carbon brakes are phenomenal, take a bit of getting used to, but they totally dominate the way you can drive. The recommended way is to left foot brake like a race car. The driving position is the best of any car I've ever sat in....it's perfect.
To be honest, the MC has it's charms, but feels very old, badly put together and cheap when compared to the 570s (and it should do right)...but to think you can now get a 2016 570s with 5k miles on it for £95k is amazing. People spending £75k on a new boxster gts need to stop their orders. :? So, we're looking at the approved used market and deciding whether we want an Orange or Black car.....IMO it's the bargain performance car right now and if you can get a drive in one you'll be hooked.
