That would be a huge downgrade, and I don't really see the Lambo being much better as a daily driver. Neither the 560 nor the 430 are going to match the GT2's reliability either.

I think this is the best bet. The GT2, 560 and 430 are not daily drivers.

The GT2 is fine except for the bucket seats. Maybe if you were 160lbs they would be ok.

My neighbor drives his F430 everyday for the last 2yrs (obviously not winter). Zero problems, just oil changes.

A Murci maybe no, but a 560 would be fine. I think they are pretty worry free. There is a guy in Edmonton that put 24,000km on his G last year with no problems & clutch is 1.6/5 still on e-gear.

I'm not into Sunday drives & garage queens...they are all meant to be driven. These kind of cars are about emotion, what kind of feeling you get when you see them & drive them & it is very subjective. No different then fine wine & women...

Well, if it's just the seats, there's gotta be a TON of aftermarket seats you can get for a lot less than a new G. Geez, maybe even the CGT seats! H*ll, if they fit, you can swap me for mine straight across!! (mine are NOT CGT seats LOL)

The guy in town (at least the one I'm thinking of) just sold his G and got a new one.

100% agree they're about emotion. That's why everyone here is saying KEEP YOUR GT2!! But I gotta admit, that new G is pretty nice. Would I do it, nope, but like fine wine and women, there's one perfect one for each of us!!

It's more like a car-orgy...there are plenty of cars to go around, may as well try them all.

The GT2 drives comfortable enough...feels like a light, tuned TT but the seats are a pita.

Those new seats are so beautiful and so hard to get over when getting in and out. Send us some more pics of the car so we can wish it good bye, traitor.
Seems like several people are selling and I have had the same thoughts. Don't know why, except the new 997.2's are coming out and the TT will have some good options.

+1. I would just get a boring DD so that you can jump in the GT2 a bit more often than a typical GQ(garage queen)

If this was the one in the center of the new showroom a few days ago, it's absolutely gorgeous!
