It is a nice car, but no I didn't like it compared to my 850. I can't get comfortable in it - I'm tall. The gas and brake pedals are too close together, the seats aren't as comfortable as the 850 seats, and the door panel has a slope to the inset at the back - this causes pain to my elbow when I try to rest it there like I did with the 850, which is squared off. I don't like the way it handles either. I miss my 850 with the body lean that feels like it is going to tip over, yet grips the road like fly paper.

Part of the problem is I just don't need it. It is a horrible waste - I have driven it 1500 miles in 7 months. It was the stupidest thing I have done in a long time, other than speculating on Sirius stock.
