Picked up mine in Chicago (Gold Coast), Roland....
Drove to Saint Louis, 500+ miles.
The best 500 miles I have ever had in any car...
So smooth in traffic. Reminds me of my first Honda Accord 1985 sedan. So smooth and just a joy to drive every day.
Technology is up to date with a beautiful LCD.
Had a 2014 Gallardo.... Enjoyed for about a year, then I really lost interest. Mainly because it was not a comfortable car.. I don't mind the stiff suspension, but the single clutch was really not enjoyable in slower traffic.
2012 Maserati Granturismo (also single clutch and rough in traffic)...
but, I would say that the exhaust in this one sounded better than my Huracan.
Sort of like an opera singer with range of tone from really LOW to a freaking high pitched scream all the way to 8,500 rpm.
911 Turbos (3 of them..)
Enjoyed only for about a year and then really, for the money?
Not worth the 100+k.
I am not a car collector and I am not a car "driver" with track desires.
What is important to me in an exotic....
1. Drivability every day... transmission has to be smooth, stiff suspension is ok, but I like a smoother ride
2. Name recognition.... If I am going to fork out a quarter of a million dollars, it is reasonable to expect that the pride of ownership of the "brand" cannot be had for 50k (ie... Porsche, Audi... good cars but entry level models suck!!)
To date, I get this great combination and still excitement (predictably for about 3 yrs) with 2 cars that I currently own:
1. Huracan (Black on Black with Red contrast stitching and Red Calipers)
2. 2015 Bentley Continental GT (this car rocks......)
3. 2015 Mercedes S600 (can't wait to get rid of this car)... Nothing exciting and looks like shit... Not sure why I bought the damn car. Drives well but again, I paid 180k for this car... Entry level is about 40k..... If I had to do it again, I would have bought a Bentley Flying Spur.
