Sooo.. review time!

I've mentioned this many times before, but holy shit.. I'm not disappointed at all with this car! I've had it for a few weeks now.. Originally picked up at 22km and now at around 2100km atm So much fun to drive!

The handling is just unreal. I had the pleasure of going through a long and easy 60km S-ish bend at 140km+ (on a private road of course.. haha). I'm still getting used to the handling but as I get more confident I push it a bit harder each time to see where its limits are. Also, I've never felt safer in a car when driving in the rain. Brakes work really well and it sticks to the road much better than any other car I've driven. Top speed I've gotten up to is 175kmph on the straight.. didn't want to push it any further just yet.

The headunit works well most of the time, I've got an issue at times with the bluetooth connection being retarded. It connects but the volume is way too low.. I have to try my luck by disconnecting my phone and reconnecting.. if that doesn't work then i have to turn the car off and on again for it to work. So stupid! The speakers are bearable.. but I'm definitely changing them out soon along with a small sub in the back.

The paint wasn't that great surprisingly.. When I was getting it opticoated by @Frank @ BrightShine, we were both equally shocked by all the marks on the car. No big swirls that I saw but a whole bunch of marks all around the car. Because of that, Frank had to do a lot of hard work in prepping before the opticoat.. but it's all fixed now and looks absolutely AMAZING. Couldn't be happier! Seriously, Sydney people.. I 100% recommend giving Frank a call. He's got amazing attention to detail and I can guarantee that you'll be over the moon with the results!

If you guys have any questions feel free to ask me, I'll be more than happy to answer

Ps. Expect more photos soon!
