Where do I start, let's see......front view, side view, *** end view, LWBS, PDK S, 9Krpm, throttle response, engine note, downshifts and upshifts at full throttle.....can I stop now? Oh yes, one more thing, it makes me feel like I'm still in my prime.

The sound when up shifting, plus the flat turning attitude.

Hard to argue with that logic.

When I see a convertible up ahead I do a few downshifts then hammer it to 9k as I pass by. Makes me laugh every time.

I thought about this without reading any of the previous responses to avoid getting biased. I like this car so much that I really have to think about listing just ONE key aspect of the car.

For me, it's the actual driving experience. Whether I'm on the streets, highway, or track, there is a sense of excitement when driving this car compared to all my other cars. A big part of it is the throttle response and noise from that wonderful engine, along with how fast it revs when pushed. The fast shifting transmission is another part of it. Somehow, the "rattles" and funny noises this car makes also in part contributes. I think the fact that I have to be alert and worry about speed bumps and going up/down driveways and making sure to remember to activate the front lift automatically makes me more vigilant when driving it. It's the most exciting car I have ever owned.

And yes, I know how to drive/track a stick shift car.......the lack of manual transmission does not mean this car is not fun to drive.

I have grown to love the slightly rough and impatient idle...constantly reminds you the car is a little special.
