Went to check one out yesterday and have some thoughts. Great drive, it has adequate HP, great handling, good transmission and mid-engine. A few big issues are keeping me from being in love however.
1. the engine is completely inaccessible. i like to tinker once in awhile, but the only way to access this engine is from a hoist. $ to porsche.
2. no bluetooth. they have some inane system of inserting your SIM card (if you happen to have a GSM phone) and using the car as the phone. unbelievable.
3. your own music needs to be on cd's. no ipod,iphone connector, no sd cards, nothing.
Their excuse is that these things ruin the driving experience, which is totaly preposterous. I don't track the car 100% of the time, i actually go to work, take trips, go to the grocery store, pick up friends, drive the woman around and 95% of the time i would like these features. I can't with all my good senses buy a car with these shortcomings. Whew, enough of a diatribe for a wednesday morning :)
