Thanks! I haven't yet considered anything to color the wheels, but might upgrade to 20" wheels and new tires when these tires need to be replaced, at which point I will consider a few different styles/colors/finishes.

More importantly, what do you think driving it??

The manual base model is a nice package.

I love it! Not having actually been able to find a Manual Base to drive prior to buying this one, I was admittedly disappointed in the HOLD feature, but after a software update and getting used to it, that doesn't bother me so much anymore.

Ultimately, I wanted a naturally-aspirated car for the throttle response, reliability, and relatively low cost of maintenance with later age/miles. I had to have a manual because, well that in my opinion is what a sports car should have--despite the slower 0-60, 0-100, etc. compared to PDK. I have driven two other PDKs (including a 2015 Carrera S SportDesign), and while impressed with their acceleration, decided they didn't exactly have the feel I was looking for.
