As far as driving, I don't think they can hold a candle to Porsches in true dynamics, but they are so damn pretty and sound so damn good, that I can convince myself to give away a few tenths of a second for style points. (Having said that, I've yet to drive one, so my dreams may come tumbling down when reality hits).
I have driven a coupe. It was slower than expected and weirdly cheap in unexpected areas. Some things were nice, but I came away liking it rather than loving it.

Of course, after $100k in depreciation, they are a much more interesting proposition.
