22 thousand miles and my Spyder's steel brakes still squeal unless I slam my foot down on them. I'v gotten used to it.
Oil consumption seems to have slowed down the last 5-6 thousand miles. Before that I was adding a quart (1.0L) every ~3,500 miles.
While it does get aggressive drivers excited, I think the car also commands respect. Reasonable people realize that I'm driving a fast car, and most of them quickly get out of the way when necessary.

A lot of it really have to do with how you drive it, the climate and the weather.
I did two test drives before ordering my car, one with Iron and the other with PCCB and NEITHER of them made a peep. Go Figure.

2020 GT4, Guards, Steel Brakes, LWBs, leather options, etc.
So far so good! 2nd gear grind worked itself out after 6000 km and so far I have 4 track events under my/out belt. Left my frunk open in the sun and the frunk liner is now distorted..lol. Dealer has ordered a replacement under warranty.
Good:
Even with LWBs, road trips are no issue. I've installed the Akro link pipes so its louder and it does get bothersome after a couple of hours. With that being said, its a noisy car and should be
Fuel economy is good. Cruising on the hyw, i'm getting a tad under 10l per 100km. alternatively, a friend with a 2.5ltr boxster S gets mid 7's...
Balance and performance on the track is excellent and i'm now ready for harnesses and a track alignment
Oil consumption is about 3/4 litre in the last 6000km and I drive it pretty hard.
Bad:
Subjective - Although I love a manual, I would prefer it in PDK during track events.
Everybody wants to race me on the road and I feel that my presence brings out the worst in some people. I've seen some really aggressive and stupid stuff happen around me. Everything from sport compacts to SUVs, F150s, etc etc.
Non car people think its a ferrari, i think because its in Guards Red..
Brake squeal. Ok i'm reaching here but does it ever go away?? LOL
