I have FAL and use it multiple times every time I drive the car. It just makes things easier. I live in south Florida and I’m glad I have it. Could I get away without it? Perhaps but was a must for me.

I would not be able to get in and out of my driveway without FAL. Short of moving, spending $30k re-grading my driveway and pouring a new apron, or maintaining a stockpile of thousands of GT3 lips…it’s a dealbreaker.

Beyond my driveway, I could figure out a way to deal with 90% of typical FAL scenarios but it does make things more miserable and nerve wracking.

Given that 99% of GT3 Tourings have FAL and this car being Canadian, I see no reason to buy it unless the price was incredible…and even then I couldn’t do it, but I could at least see why others not in my situation would.

Nothing really wrong with the car other than no FAL and Canadian car. I guess it’s price dependent.

I almost made the 2 hour drive from Boulder to see this car and, knowing me, I would have bought it. Priced right for sure, love the spec. In the end, I really wanted the 18 way sport seats and the FAL as I have a bit of a rural asphault 100 yard driveway and store cars on a lift as well. The car looks amazing! Instead, I bought the Carrera White Metalic Tourning at Marshall Goldman and took delivery Saturday. Couldn't be more impressed with this car. I am not sure there will ever be another car made that will rival this car in terms of driver engagement pleasure. (IMHO)

Seat choice is not something I would compromise on. FAL is subjective. I have it and glad I do.
