Yeah, definitely—it sounds like the equivalent of a sport package. Totally worth it imo.

Nice car for sure and a huge value play compared to a Boxster GTS. That said this is neither a NA engine nor mid-engined but a great alternative to a FI Boxster S, which is the more direct competitor, IMO.

It seems expensive? But that’s all relative. I just picked up a Cayenne Hybrid that depreciated 50% from new but still Certified that is less than 80% of this asking price. So on the one hand, the 69k ask seems pricey. Relative to a Boxster? Seems like a bargain. YMMV?

And, looks like San Remo green is now gone for the 4 series convertible (maybe other models, too).
I actually placed an order for my 4 GC prior to one turning up at my dealer. I had speced San Remo Green and Cognac. I think I may like the Frozen version even better. |

Need to see it in person. From these images, those wheels look meh to me. And the front view looks like the Fiat Miata from dead on. I doubt this comes across in person. Just not flattering photos.

So are the different size wheels front to back a real performance advantage or just a silly fashion thing?
