Gotten to over 200 miles so far and I have some better driving impressions:
The suspension is so much better than my original 718 Base. It does not get unsettled by anything and just eats up road imperfections. You feel them, but they're not affecting the ride.
Along with the suspension, the steering is a little lighter than my 718 - still insanely communicative but lighter. Also, the steering seems to follow road imperfections more as well - this could be just due to the default setup. Its not bad, it's just something I noticed.
PSE on/off makes minimal difference to my ears
Sport suspension setting isn't drastic, but it becomes a little bouncier on harsher roads
Gearbox is super notchy in some gears right now, especially 1st. Hope this will smooth out as I drive it more
Tire noise + engine noise does not make this a nice highway cruiser listening to tunes, but I sort of expected this
First bit of rain, and then the sun made for a great shot

Your car looks gorgeous, I love the way the MB looks in this shot, a true GT car colour!
+1 On the light steering. The clutch is also quite light.
Would prefer both being firmer.
I have the same issue with PSE on and off, minimal difference so far.
Do you have drone as well?
My car has only done 160km so far so hoping it gets better during break in.
This pic is a good representation of the color Miami Blue. The other images aren’t.
Camera processors always skew the color more towards Mexico or riviera blue, which it isn’t.

I held off making the same post. The only way to capture MB even remotely accurately is in the shade or on the shady side. Direct sunlight makes it look way more blue than it really is. That rear shot gets pretty close.
Great looking car. Miami Blue with PCCB's is great. Also in the NE Ohio area. Hope to see your car out sometime when I am out driving or at a Cars and Cappucinos event, if there are any this year.
Pictures of the car are usually not representative of real life, but second best is a comparison in pictures;
I always like these side by sides. Assuming the captions are correct of course. I find that some of the pastel Porsche blues get so saturated in photos that they lose contour detail. I wonder if this applies in the flesh as well.

Great pic, thanks.
I can confirm that my Miami Blue looks different depending on the lighting and can look like the Riviera/Mexico samples under bright lighting or direct sunlight. (Obviously not if they were present in the same lighting).
How does it feel driving Miami Blue around? Pros and cons? My build lock date is coming soon and I'm debating between GT Silver and Miami Blue. This car would be my 1/3 time daily driver + weekends + 2-3 track days per year. Live in Southern California. I've had white or black cars my whole driving career and I'm finding that I just can't stop looking at photos of Miami Blue for the 718 GT4. My concern is that although I personally enjoy looking at the Blue, it would bring too much attention which I haven't ever really had to deal with in the past. Hence I'm also strongly considering GT Silver.
