Still running it in at the moment and it’s been away for PPF and GTechniq.
Running in should be finished in the next week or two, so far my thoughts are pretty positive - you really feel the lightness in the body and it glides through bends even at less than 3500 rpm.
I got a long drive of one in France before I bought and the car comes alive once it’s set into sport and you can exploit the top of the Rev range. The issue for perspective owners will be getting s long enough test drive to judge the car, 15 minutes out from a dealer is not going to do the car justice.
The downsides are the media console is pretty rudimentary in comparison to the 718 and packing for a European trip is going to be fun, although more space than the F-Type there is nothing like the luggage space of a 718.
The car is an interesting size being as wide as a 718 but a good deal shorter.
Anyway some photos ...
