I see on on the 2017 facelift there a few tweaks to the front and a upgraded head unit but looking at some 2016 models that have the older style front but what looks like the upgraded head unit. Am i missing something? I used to have a 2015 model and keen to get another but with the more up to date head unit.

Get the my18 car, lots of little improvements over the older one. My only gripe is the suspensions slightly softer than the older cats so if you drive like a demented demon on the Nurburgring it gets a little flappy chasing GT3s (I still kept up with most mond. 😁) If a cheap good pre facelift came up its still an great car having said that.

I would invest in a MY 18.5, 400 sport. You cannot go far wrong with 1 of them.

Imo, not nearly enough power. As my old Granny used to say, too much power is never quite enough. She was wise beyond her years.

It is not about the power it about the rarity and stunning little gold badges....

Are the later v8's quieter? my 2015 made a lovely noise but i remember reading somewhere they mellowed the noise a bit on the later ones?

Interesting! Never heard about such a suspension change in in the MY18 facelift. Have you compared like for like cars?

My mates had a 15 plate V8 and has another now which is 15 plate. My facelift 17 reg is definately more compliant and a smoother road car.
