Re: Anyone
i have a Lusso in Meteor Grey with the Premium package. Have only had for 2 weeks so far, but loving it a lot. Car handles very nice on the back roads. Very nimble and responsive enough. Very comfortable but i am only 5'4". Have to remind myself to be good with it, feel like i did back when i used to drive a ninja.

Re: Anyone
I just picked up a Classica yesterday. Mine is bronze over black and has zero options. It's got the superb 6 speed gearbox in it. It had all of 6 miles on it when I test drove it and was at 32 by the time I was done. It now has 167 miles on it, mostly logged in Indiana back roads south of the Indy area. I test drove an Abarth they had on the lot yesterday as well, but that one was an automatic. I did not care for the auto version, but if that's all I could get, would still be happy. The 6 speed is fantastic. The throws are nice and tight with the pedals placed well for heel and toe downshifting. I started today before sunrise on the back roads (where I took the photo below) thinking that I liked the car. By the end of the day, I was in love. At around the 100 mile mark, it all seemed to come together with the brakes gaining a much better feel as well as with my getting the feel of the clutch nailed. My normal Spider is a '69 Jerrari modified car and is much more direct in the feel. The new Spider, once you get the feel, though, seems like it's wired into your central nervous system. I can't give any reliability feedback yet with less than 200 miles on the clock, but from a drivers standpoint, this car is a winner.
Thanks,
