The 718 is fun. Had one for a weekend. Terrible storage, though. Couldn't be a DD for me.As much as I love the power of these cars, especially after a tune and the basics, I was never really into american muscle - drove a nissan, couple acura suvs, etc...
Last year - I really wanted a convertible. Didn't really care which one it was - I just wanted a convertible.
Was out to lunch one day with Dad - saw a Ford dealer across the street - decided to pop in. They didn't have any convertibles in stock.
Week after, went on vacation to Vegas - rented / drove a convertible Camaro all week and that solidified getting a convertible.
Got back from vacation - same Ford dealer called me saying they got a race red one optioned how I wanted it. 2 days later, went for a test drive; took delivery the next day.
I love the car - strait up funnest car I've ever driven. Sucks in the snow, and this year I'm really considering getting a winter car - but it was a good choice IMO.
I can't say I'll get another though. The luxury just isn't there. The leather is meh, all the plastic is meh, rust in 2 spots on the hood now on a 2 year old car / 1 winter and it gets waxed every week or so? For shame... My next is a Porsche - either the 718 as a convertible or the Macan. If plans hold true and the girlfriend and I move to Florida in 3 years when her son graduates school - probably the 718 - no need for a SUV where it doesn't snow...
