Engine sound is key in a sports car. Sucks that the new M4 and M3 have lost that

Yeah it is decent, definitely no slouch. The base model is a little weak. I would want the V8 version. But for $100k+, I would be more interested in a 991. I could see why someone would buy an F-type. They look amazing, sound amazing, and have respectable performance.

I'd take an older and slower Maserati GTS over this. Technically, this new F-Type is an old car, it is based on a shortened XK.

That's fine. You're you.
The few reviews out, praise the car.
I'll take old car technology Alex.

When this thing was announced, this was the only trailer needed for me to like the car. I had headphones on at the time so I didn't stand a chance.
