The GT4 feels like more of an occasion to drive and I don’t like running errands with it either. It’s a bit of a pain. I find visibility tricky and lack of sensors means I won’t bother trying to parallel park on queen st, no front lift means no downtown parking garages etc. The m2 has good clearance and is easier to maneuver in that sense. I’m still careful where I park but I don’t worry about ripping the bumper off going up an incline lol.
All makes sense! I wonder if the S55 will be any different on the highway (drone-wise, gearing, etc.). I drove an M4 for a few days a few years, but otherwise haven't been around that engine.
