·That's the furthest you can go before it's a complete waste of space IMO. If you can't comfortably take your partner and both of your luggage on a weekend trip in it, a sportbike is a better proposition in every way.
P.S. You'll never get me on a bike. I've seen too many terrible accidents happen to bikers.

·Did you ever come across a Lotus Guy by the nickname of Tut, never -well very rarely- wore footwear?

·He joined our Civic type R forum around 2004 and was a regular on our runs, wife sat as navigator beside him for a couple of sections, she came back speechless. He was always up for giving passenger runs at track days, the man was a legend, unfortunately no longer with us.

·I’ll get the Lotus Elise anytime vs a bigbike. 👍
My wife doesn’t allow me near anything two wheels either 😜
She says it’s bad for my health, and I can drive any sports car I want 😁

·Except for the rain, comfort, lack of stability, lack of being seen by car drivers.... shall I go on?
My guy have you ever driven a car like that in the rain on a North American highway? My first S2000 bit it that way, back in 2006. (Fortunately I didn't!)
Let me tell you, there's nothing like driving a super-focused sports car like this in the rain / snow to make you understand why people are obsessed with Lexus SUVs

·Driving a Lexus with continuously variable transmission isn’t fun at all, is just 🤮

·Driving a Lexus SUV in the rain isn't quite as much fun, though
I'd like to point out that you're photographed in a controlled environment with large runoff areas. The rock wall my S2000 spun me into that rainy night on the parkway wasn't so forgiving.

Agree. Do all Lexus SUVs have CVTs now? (I'd rather a GLC43 anyway)

I do remember getting caught in a hailstorm on the M25 (motorway) with the roof stowed away in the boot of the Lotus. The people pointing and laughing didn't help.

And yes, of course a (V6 3.0 390HP) Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 (or the V8 GLC 63 😉) is a very different kind of SUV, and with a great 9-speed gearbox, with which you can have real fun at the wheel, especially when you select the Sport+ driving mode and manual operation with shift pads 🥰

·I think so, like all the hybrid Toyota... as the Prius 😒

I honestly don't want any car with an automatic, whether it's a CVT or a dual clutch or anything in between. Fortunately I don't have kids so I have the freedom to choose a sports car over anything - so I'm holding onto the S2000 until I can afford* a good 911. Targeting a 997 Turbo.
* I can definitely already afford a 911, or at least I could if I stopped spending all my money on watches
** I don't want to though lol. For me watches are an everyday fun item while a car, here in New York, is an occasional experience.

for years I shared this view and hated automatics, but these days autos are better and I’m lazier. I don’t think I want a sports car with a auto, but for a daily driver, why not?
