On a quick scan it seems that s/h prices remain strong anyway, and when one waits a bit before deciding that one would like to change there is little loss and in some cases a gain. Coincidently
as there is often a reference to questionable handling, I have not found this to be the case. Indeed my new P4, with its adjustable shocks and panhard rod seems to have a quick turn in, a very planted feel and is well able to make good progress. The test for me is a long steep hill near us which has many twists and three very sharp turns. My Roadster behaves very well on it but the new car might well outperform it as it certainly does with folks trying to keep up. So okay I am not finding the limit of adhesion and I am after all driving on public roads never the less I have no complaints and only wish that I could keep them both. I drove one of VW's offerings on the same hill recently and enjoyed it much less.
