Six months in
 
Who still loves driving this thing?

Me: I've done 3 track days and I drive it almost daily. I still love driving it, no matter where I'm going. In fact, I've never had a car that I still noticed myself *enjoying* every time I drove it after owning it this amount of time. I love the sound with intake/exhaust, I love the view, I love the seating position, and I love the general handling most of all.

I have to say, I'm a bit bummed that 14" rotors can't even stand up to 8/10ths driving on the track, but other than that, all's well. I read car blogs incessantly and I still don't feel like there's another car I should have bought.

Anyone else? Rants/raves?

6 months, I love the car more each day. Part of it is the seat feels better each day, started out a bit stiff but has really come to support me, the power just seems to respond better through the whole powerband after 5,000 miles put on the engine.

I think the seats not only "mold" a little to your body, but I feel like I am getting more used to the driving position, compared to the 350 it replaced. And the engine just keeps getting better the more broken in it is. I'm at 7000 miles now and it just keeps getting better :tup:

Bought mine in June, so I can't claim 6 months yet, but I have to say that I'm glad I bought it every time I drive it, which, isn't often enough. I've "only" got around 2100-2200 miles on it...

Mostly I drive it from my house to a friend of mine's house and back. I hate parking in a parking lot because I know some moron will ding it, so I never take it to walmart, or any place to eat, etc.

9 months in on my baby and every second is a dream! Plus I have had a couple of track days! Any down time with the car and I get a lil depressed *literally* the car is that much fun and the highlight of my day usually lol but I got Call of Duty MW2 to hold me over until my TT build gets finished :tup:

3 weeks in =) although I still enjoyed driving my 350 more I'm starting to like it more and more. I just hit 1k and its starting to develop a little rumble, I hated how quite it was.

Like I tell everyone...every time I get into my car it feels like a mini vacation.
Best. Purchase. Ever

6 months and 4200 miles in for me. I'm still really impressed at how good the car is on every level, especially at it's price point. I've had 8 Porsches...No need to go there anymore for me..

Only thing to disappoint me was the brakes, really don't feel like I should have to spend $4K to fix something that should have been adequate to start with. Love everything else about the car.

They are fine for street driving, but under auto-cross or light track duty they have weird fade characteristics where the ABS goes crazy and causes a dangerous condition. Something in the calipers can't handle the heat, changing pads, fluid, and rotors makes no difference.
