1. Too expensive new.
2. Poor performance compared to the Porsche equivalent. 3. Auto only. 4. Poor reliability reputation. 5. Too heavy in the US version. 342 lbs heavier than the EU version according to Car and Driver. TBH, I think that I could get over everything but the last bit. The weight difference is awful, and it starts at the frame. Why bother at that point? All the compromises of a lightweight car without the actual lightness.

GT3 is best car I have ever driven, lol. At Speedvegas I turned better lap times in that than the Audi R8, the Acura NSX, or the Ferrari GTB. To be fair though, the Porsche was the last car drove and the Ferrari was the first... Also their instructors were great so it may have been just me growing as a driver from learning the track and the advice from the guy in the right seat.
