Wow - I was really impressed. The car felt so small and nimble compared to the F80 (obviously ) but it also sounded pretty good to my ears. Does it have the high pitched wail of the F6 in the 981? No, but I think it sounds good in its own right, and was definitely quicker than my old Cayman. I would say that it didn't have the extreme grunt of the S55, but felt quicker than the OG M2 we have.
The PDK is still the best transmission I have ever driven - the thing is just so fast, up or down. And to your point, the car just LOVES going around corners. I used to get such a kick out of driving the 981, even at lower speeds, and the 718 felt even sharper. I am really, really tempted to get one....

wow surprising, I have to confess that I haven't even contemplated a test drive of the 718 based on some really brutal reviews (about the 718 lacking soul) by reviewers who I respect
your experience makes me wonder if I should at least give one a go...currently close to placing an M2C order....
