I'm hoping that the Plus 8 and Boxster can live together, when the Plus 8 finally returns.
Going to be interesting to see. Someone who enjoys the foibles and inadequacies of MMC cars as you do is not an obvious candidate for a car refined to the point of blandness /perfection. I would have expected you to chose something "more raw". You've surprised me.
Look forward to the comments in a year or so when the novelty has gone. Personally I am in love with every new boat I buy but it doesn't always last. In fact it only ever lasted with the last boat, the one that I sadly found after 11 years didnt go with an ageing body any longer.
Agreed... most of my cars last 2 to 2.5 years, some less: I get bored easily.
I can forgive MMC for most of the eccentricities of af Tarka, but not unexplained unreliability. Much will depend on the reason for the problems that have kept Tarka and I off the road for most of the summer.
The Porsche isn't bland in the way the Tesla was, but it does vere towards perfection in the way the A35, M140i and C63 did not. They should have been so much better... we shall see if that perfection bores me, or if I fall in love. The PDK box is stunning, utterly inconspicuous, every change imperceptible... until you need it to do as you ask, then it is responsive in a millisecond, or so it seems: wonderful!
I've not tried the race start yet, the tyres are too new....
The A35 box, a double clutch device was crude, dumb, lumpy changes, jerks and unimpressive. Both the A35 and C63 had adjustable ride, as does the Porsche. The difference is that the Porsche system seems matched to the chassis and car. Tarka is better than the two AMGs.
