For a long time I've had the itch to buy a new motor. I've learned from previous car that to get the most enjoyment out of a car is that it must be useable.

I was set on a GT3 but after a few test runs I felt it was too much work to have fun on the roads. So I turned my attention to the GT2s. After a test drive I was in love. The torque was unreal but the noise was disappointing.

Been looking for months now and can't find the right car. I'm now looking in to alternatives and the 430 has got me thinking. Gallardo is sweet but bland Audi interior and 4wd puts me off.

Any of you lads experience in the fezza world. Opinions if it would meet my checklist:

Fun
Adrenaline
Usability
"Reasonable" residuals (quite important for me)

Look forward to your thoughts

 

The 430 is a very good choice, I recommend it. It is an amazing car and for me, very reliable. Not too crazy about the exhaust sound, so just putting test pipe (cat delete) a muffler and tips will solve the problem. Fabspeed offers a good system at a fair price and the sound is just amazing.
The power is also very good but you wont get the same torque or power feel as a GT2, which is something completely different.
The 430 has been around for while now, so you can find good deals on them and a ton of aftermarket parts for it. I would look for a low miles 2006 and up.
The 430 also shares a lot of common parts with the 360 which makes OEM parts more available.
The 430 is all around a very good car and its also very "spacious" inside, specially compared to the Gallardo.

If you are a tall person, around 6' like me, I recommend looking for one which has the sports carbon buckets seats. It will allow you to seat deeper in the car which will give you more room (head, legs, back, shoulders etc...) and a better seating position. If not the stocks seats are good and comfortable.
