That's basically how it drives; I can't stress how great this car drives for people looking for an straight up sports car.

Is that car in Long Island?

Yes, you did get a good price. Curious to read your driving impressions. I think my local dealer has a silver one too, but they want all the money for it. I forgot how light the door was when I was sitting in a 400 in the showroom yesterday.

But my wife and I decided to splurge on a new address so my car plans are hosed for a year or two anyway most likely.

Same boat looking into a few cars the 4C is topping the looks and price the Mclaren is tops for looks but very is top top end and lotus looks a bit like the old Elsie from the rear which isn't my favorite look
but I have yet to see one in the flesh.

The Elise is a toy and Evora is a real car with big proportions that make it look really stunning in person. Interior quality is much better, especially on the 400. Brakes that are dream. Seeing the throttle cable moving from the rear view mirror is a hoot. I can't imagine anyone picking a 4c over an Evora 400 except for dealership network, wanting a feathery light car, or just wanting an Alfa. I am big fan of both marques. Go drive an Evora 400 and you'll buy one.

The 4C is drop dead gorgeous in the right color, but just be sure you can get in and out of them. I am small and still spry, and it was comical squeezing in and out. I'd still take one though, difficult or not.
