Just some quick thoughts:

  • Nav-system is crap in the F430. Old ones are CD-based, newer ones are better, but still no TFT-screen, map etc.
  • Trunk space is superior to the 997, front boot has a capacity of about 220 litres (twice as much as the 911), behind the seats there is some additional space for small bags, jackets etc.
  • Cruising is nice, sound is not annoying, even at longer trips and higher speeds.
  • Costs already answered by SciFrog.
