CarExpert's Take
Scott Collie
Contributor
Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Fearsomely fast on road and track
- Extra wagon practicality
- Still comfortable enough to use as a family car
Misses
- Options get expensive, fast
- Aggressive looks still aren't to all tastes
- We've had to wait so long!

Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- The benchmark entry-level sports car
- Turns more heads than a base 911
- Next-gen is electric, so it's a collectable
Misses
- Exhaust note is still uninspiring at 5000rpm
- Storage space in the cabin is tight
- Infotainment hardware is almost a decade old
