What did you test drive? Inquiring minds (even my feeble version) want to know!!

How very nice! Congrats!!! :thumbup:

I agree that it will take some getting used to and that it will be a different driving experience in many respects vs your Boxster GTS 4.0.

After you've had some time to get acquainted with Miss Cali T, I'll be curious as to your impressions - how and where it differs from the 718 and which you prefer as far as handling, manners, comfort, etc. The two will be competing for favorite positioning. :lol:

I keep a running file about car stuff. I'll share my thoughts. Initial impressions, the Boxster GTS 4.0 is a sports car that does a decent impression of a GT car. The Cali T felt like a GT car first. Will be fun to compare.
