Potential upgrade...opinions required!

[500Joe]

Morning guys and girls,

I’m thinking of upgrading from my standard 500 to a 595 competitzione.

Preferably people that have owned or driven both - how noticeable is the difference? On paper stats like the 0-60 times show minimal difference but that is not fully representative of real life performance. My reasons for considering upgrading are mainly the extra power, and suspension difference, which is a large factor since I want to be getting in a fair amount of track action this year. I’ll be looking at 160bhp versions as that’s what the current budget allows.

Any recommendations, opinions and general comparison is very much welcome.

Thanks all

Joe

The seats are horrifically uncomfortable - beware!

The seats are horrifically uncomfortable - beware!

I’ve seen a few people saying that, and others saying they love them! Will have to go and drive one and see for myself.

Have a drive and see what you think.

Personally, I couldn't justify the extra cost, it was tight on affordability for me. But if you can afford it and like it, then why not?

Love the Sabelts - 12000 miles so far and they're still just as comfortable as day one.
