thanks guys - having a ball with the car.  already put 4k on it.  the 968 would have taken 4 years to put that mileage on.  between the difficult top and the manual transmission pain in the ass, i just never drove it.  this is so much easier to drive, handles better, corners better, faster, better appointed.  it's everything i was trying to make the 968 into, but does it right out of the box.  lol - of course that was a $175k box, but what the heck.  it's only money.

Drove the targa this weekend :


Pros :

Fast

Really fast

Great ergonomics ( driver vantage , cabin instruments , switches and operating features positioning )

Seats are as comfortable as anything I've experienced , and yet they don't lose any of the sports car body hugging touch to them.

Perfect driving in both the civilized mode and then of course the sport mode is another dimension altogether .

The artificial intelligence is remarkable ; it shifts gears precisely when you would shift , but does it in a small fraction of time it would take you to do that . Don' t you hate it when a computer is smarter and faster than you, lol ?

Everything a person ( well, Flash , that is..) wants in terms of creature comforts ( air conditioned and heated seats among a myriad of other bells and whistles of that sort ) , plus an array of state of the art electronics, to cater to just about every one of driving experience needs .

Great color !


Cons :

Almost all of the above attributes,, lol. ( in my universe anyway .. ) Except for the speed capability factor which I could certainly get used to :-) and the color .

It's too easy easy to drive dammit ! I need to feel that I'm putting an effort into driving a car , otherwise it loses much of the appeal to me.

An there is my honest review. :-) :-)
