Currently have an AMG SLC as a daily driver, faster than a 911 in a straight line but doesn't do corners / damp roads very well. It makes it much more fun to drive.

Keep thinking about swapping the SLC and the recently acquired Plus 4 for a Plus Six - ends up with the power, aircon & auto box of the SLC with the charm & looks of the Plus 4. I cant decide if that ends up as a good all rounder or just something badly compromised everywhere.



Your comments ring a bell withbme. The answer to your search is a Lotus, if you can get in one. Extremely tactile car that satisfies the need for fun at sensible speeds. Reading comments on here about the Plus 6 suggests to me that it's flawed, but I have never driven one personally.


Tried a lotus, in 2017 I had a new Elise 220 sport, cracking performance, aircon broke at 4 weeks old, didn't manage to fix it in the 18 months I had the car. Didn't have a proper open top feel, more like a big sun roof. Most importantly I hurt my back & really struggled to get in & out the car, once in, the carbon fibre seats with minimal padding didn't help.
