I will keep this car a long time. There is so much good about this car. Great size, power, handling, curb appeal, for just an amazing price. For me, the next car would have to be P car, but now the M2 is making me wonder if a $40-50k premium is going to give me the equivalent benefit. If not, why would I even buy a P car? Not for a long time has a car appealed to me so much. I truly look forward to getting in my car every time, I make excuses to go places, covid lockdown couldn't keep me from driving it daily, I take the longer curvy back road everywhere. I simply love the character/personality of this little beast.
In a few years though, she may need to move out of the garage, so I will have to build her another one (there's my excuse). She wont stand outside
PS. Like the manual M2 owners, I am also keeping this a while because of the DCT (which I think is excellent) and the fact that its going away too.
