Pretty car...
Assuming the Porsche is also yours, I would be interested to hear not only how they compare, but also how you manage having similar cars in the garage. I struggled with the ownership of multiple sports cars - they all sort of eclipsed each other and it was a struggle to know which to drive!

I can see these having a different purpose, modern 911s can be every day cars.Assuming the Porsche is also yours, I would be interested to hear not only how they compare, but also how you manage having similar cars in the garage.

We currently have four cars and it feels like a good spread of uses.
Volvo XC60 as everyday family wagon, does nicely especially as two of us are over 6ft.
Boxster can be used everyday, nice having the roof down and makes you smile when the others are locked up for winter.
Air cooled 91 is nice and small so is great on those tight and narrow country roads and good for going out with Porsche guys.
Ferrari for other days, not so great on tight narrow roads. But huge fun and different from the others.
As nice as it would be to have others I think it gets hard to use them. Last year was first year with Ferrari so it got used the most. But I did learn to re-appreciate he 911 in the later half.
I suspect where it gets troublesome is when you have more than one that does the same thing.
Coxey,
I traded in the 458 for a 2018 488 GTB with Rosso Corsa Met with Nero roof last summer from Dick Lovett. Last year DL could not keep 488's in stock, I bought mine before it went on their website. I noticed they don't have any 488 GTB's at the moment, In Oxfordshire if you are close.

They have a stunning 14 plate I’m interested in. But it’s £160k. Crazy money based on what you can get for a 488. Insane spec though tbf.

I’ve got two extended test drives booked of a 488 and 458 in April over at Greypaul Notts. can’t wait to finally know which one is for me. Testing both is the only way to truly know it seems.
Congrats on your purchase OP. Beautiful car.
Just took it out for a quick drive. What a car it’s just a point and shoot sort of thing actually reminds me of my Ducati in a funny sort of way. I can see how you could actually DD this car even my daughter commented how smooth it was. As a comparison to the 991.2 I’ll try and do some back to back drives.
