So, with the 10 speed auto only being on the 2018s along with more power it looks like grabbing a left over 2017 to save some money is not going to happen.
I've driven a GT premium coupe with AE/10 SPEED AUTO/PP1.
It was a blast to drive! Gonna go check out the 401a and magneride options eventually along with actually a convertible (when they finally hit).
My thought process so far is that being a convertible I don't see any need for PP1 as it will not be tracked. Magneride sounds awesome but requires PP1 so hopefully the standard suspension is perfectly adequate. Coming from the RS I suspect it will be much more comfortable.
401a for the digital dash, slightly better interior, and heated steering wheel is still yet to be determined. I suppose heated steering wheel might be nice for colder mornings or top down cooler evenings. Digital dash seems cool but might be a bit gimmicky and not worth it in the long run. NAV is worthless as I'll be using Apple Carplay.
Active exhaust was fantastic. Wife would love the quiet mode.
Stock premium wheels are terrible, so without PP1 I'm thinking black accent package might be the way to go as I like those wheels especially on the two colors I'm debating (RR, RC).
So unless my test drives change my mind, I'm thinking 2018 GT Premium Convertible/AE/AUTO/BLACK ACCENT PACKAGE.
Any thoughts would be most welcome.
Thanks! :cheers:
