Great insights, Coronita. Have driven the 981 and 430i, but have yet to drive the C6 and F-Type. The Jag is at the top of the list at the moment but could suffer from the lack of parts availability you mentioned, will research typical stuff to see pricing/availability. It’s just gorgeous, you don’t see many of them and it sounds amazing. The 430i is likely the most functional, reasonable, reliable but I’m afraid it’s not exciting enough compared to the others.
