Just got it home, 75 mile drive from dealer to my house. This is a car that as you drive it more you will appreciate and enjoy more.

The lumbar support may not be as much an issue that I thought. By the time I got home I was pretty aclimated to the seat. Very supportive and comfortable.

The light clutch and high engagement point was bothersome but I think as I drive the car I will fully adapt to it. The trans/shifter is super! Great snicky and short throws. The clunk that some have noticed...I have also. But if you hold the clutch fully in and wait a second or two before selecting first gear it will slide right in smoothly and quietly and no clunk.

The torque dip does not seem as noticable now for some reason. This engine loves to rev!

Noticed that there is no lane change three-blink function on the turn signal.

It was 95* here and the A/C was great. I think the radio sounds fine. Had to fiddle with the settings a bit at first.

Got to figure how to set up the gear position indicator. Mine has no display.

I think the build quality is great. I'm coming from a VW MKV GTI and BMW's and have a lot of exposure to Porsche 997's. Th
