Can’t edit the post now. Bummer. Bought a PDK. Ever since having the ISF with the paddles I prefer autos.

Thanks for all the help. I ended up buying a Porsche 981 cayman s and it’s a belter of a car. You wouldn’t believe it’s the same age as my Evora. Gratuitous pic below. [url=https://postimg.cc/bsLt5PPC][img]https://i.postimg.cc/W1cwhpHv/DBC9-E0-FE-74-D4-4351-B2-F9-1947-FA3-BA01-A.jpg[/img][/url]

It’s the reason you stated and the cost of change that I am not so keen on! Also, all people that have had them state for road driving when and not pressing on they take a lot of time to be effective and squeal. I can’t disagree about lotus build. Mine was a 2013 Evora and switch gear was very poor for the price. Also the cabin construction was average at best with issues of creaking etc. infotainment was a standard alpine unit etc. That being said it was amazing to drive and looked superb. It got an awful lot of positive attention. The hope is the emira will really move the brand on in build quality. The europa is a really cool looking car! The 981 boxster s ticks a lot of boxes. Since buying our first home 2 years ago I am not working my way up the car ladder again! I would love the GTS but funds don’t allow.

Interesting! I am searching for a fairly high spec but not carbon ceramics. They must be rare on a boxster! I will be using it as you say, some track days, road trips and weekend drives. I wasn’t a fan of the pre 981 looks but really love the more beefy styling of the 981 onwards. Also performance wise it’s more than fast enough! Just over 4 to 60 and 170ish too speed. Those figures are similar to my old lotus Evora which was more than enough. I do really find myself drawn to the styling. Also if I buy well there will be little to no need to modify it. Maybe a tune to increase torque slightly and grills to protect the radiators. What car do you think you will be moving to?

Good replies and it’s a shame it doesn’t fit in my garage at the moment. I have gone full circle with my search and landed back looking at a boxster 981 s where the search began! The m2 just wouldn’t feel special even if it drives as well as all the reviews state. This is a mainly a weekend toy car and while I will use a 2 seater less it will be more fun when I do. like the rc-f the porker will feel and look special.

That’s really useful. In all honesty i was leaning towards the rcf until I measured my garage! We have a tumble dryer and fridge freezer at the end and rcf is slightly too long! The 720 is a serious weapon! As you say though completely different level of car to the rcf. I think for the driving I intend to do the M2 will be a better fit.

Ultimately I am trying to weigh up the rcf with a M2/comp. The M2 will have better dynamic drivability but is common and not as good looking or sounding as the rcf. Also, the rcf has a far nicer interior and the car will only see a track 2 times in my ownership I imagine.

Yeah that’s why I was thinking occasional track use. It would primarily be a weekend toy car. They don’t seem to be as impacted by the used car market as other cars. M2 comps for example are 5-7k more than they were expected to be at this age and stage.

Soooo I bought a house and am now looking to get another car. Some questions for the rc-f owners. I am looking for a weekend car that can hold the 3 of us when needed BUT can be great for weekend driving, European road trips and maybe the occasional track day. 1. Has anyone taken theirs on track? If so how well did it perform as reviews are not too favourable? 2. What options are a must? Is the torque vectoring rear diff essential? 3. Any issues with them? Stu

The f-sport like the premiere has a high base spec with only a few options available if I recall such as sunroof etc. Appreciate the fsport will have firm suspension but I like the styling. From looking at images the fsport has memory seats as you can see the buttons on the driver side door.

Thank you for the reply. My daughter is 6 so it will definitely be large enough. With the warranty I mean extended warranty. When I had my isf you could get the Lexus warranty on a car up to 10 years old and they also did buy one year and get the second free. I’ll enquire at my local Lexus garage. Do these cars have any known issues I need to be aware of? I am assuming not and reliability is the reason for me looking to buy one. Stu

Hi, we have a daughter and have had the ct as a courtesy car previously. I am just trying to establish if there are any known issues. Also, what options there were over and above the f-sport spec. Finally if lexus still offer bogof on extended warranty. Thanks in advance. Stu

Hi all, Looking to get back in to a Lexus for a family car. I like the ct f-sport and the 2014 models are a really good price. Is there anything I need to know? Assume Lexus still do 10 year warranty? Also, do they come with memory seats? What options were available for these? stu

350 to get a 850 product.... I understand why but no.

Some lovely spoilers there but all jap. Imagine import costs.
