Purchasing a Huracan

[TTBear]

elm3 - I am quite familiar with where you are coming from. I went from a string of BMW M3s (my most recent, an e92 M3 that I still miss to this day) to a Gallardo LP560-4, which I absolutely loved, and now, to a Huracan, which currently sits in our garage with less than 50 miles on it, while I semi-patiently wait for spring to arrive.

The Huracan is a very solid car - there are no mechanical defects that I am aware of, and yet there are a few quirks that will take some getting used to (such as lowpue's comment on the turn signals. It really did benefit massively from parent company Audi's input, and enjoys remarkable reliability. From this end, don't worry. What you will need to get used to, is the constant barrage of attention, making trivial tasks such as refilling your tank into 20 or 30 minute adventures in public relations, as people approach you, asking about the car, what it costs, how fast it is, what you do for a living, etc., etc. I am still not used to this, and like lowpue, I am relieved when I get back in to drive away. There also comes with the purchase of an exotic, a certain degree of anxiety if you are at all anal about people touching it, resulting in marring, scratching, etc. While I am somewhat better now, I am always acutely aware of what might be happening to the car when I can't see it - like when we are in a restaurant, for example. I have come back to the car, with people sitting on the hood for pictures, or to see evidence of people having leaned on it, introducing marring and scratches to the paint.
There are a few other minor adjustments you will have to make - lack of steering wheel controls for audio volume/inputs, lack of cruise control (unless you buy a used 2016), lack of Homelink (if you buy an earlier 2015), no power seat memory, having to dip the rear view mirror manually at night, having to retrieve the key fob to unlock the doors when you approach the car..... many such features are de rigeur on many cars - even much less expensive cars, but they really are minor adaptations, and you will very quickly come to accept these as very small inconveniences, if at all.

The one thing you will absolutely and positively love, is the feeling each and every time you get in and drive. To this day, I exit the car with a massive grin - each, and every time. I enjoy driving it, even cleaning/detailing it.

Jump in - you will love every moment of it. To quote a good friend of mine, who was largely responsible for tipping the balance when I was vacillating between whether or not to purchase an exotic - "there are no medals for being the richest man in the graveyard", to "the only thing that happens if you wait, is that you get older".

Let us know what colour you choose, and of course, pictures are always great!
