Before I bought my F80, I had owned a 2005 Prius, a 2011 335d, a 2011 E92 M3, and a 2013 Prius C. Yeah, I like cars from both ends of the spectrum, depending on where I live at the time.

I despised my E92 because of the poor range (small tank + thirsty engine), crunchy 6MT second gear, and lack of 4 doors. I also thought the Mineral White paint was beautiful, but a PITA to keep clean. My F80 w/DCT fixed all of those problems, and that's why I came back to the brand.

It's remarkably easy to get laid with this car.

Ha! This is me, too. I have a pile of carbon fiber parts and a set of wheels/tires waiting for me in Italy. The car is there as well...just a few more days before I have both.

I have the hardest time keeping my revs below 5500 when I lose myself in a drive... I may have hit up to 5700 or so on three occasions... I'M SORRY BABY! Only 750 miles until break in is complete.

I rarely get more than 180 miles per tank (usually fill it up when there's 40 miles left in it)

I don't drive like a yob, but I love the cracks and bangs of the ZCP and as a result, it's in sport+ mode usually.

Ha! I feel the exact opposite!

I just got back from a snowboarding trip to whistler. Packed my F80 with a trunk full of bags (can't do in a p car), boards on the roof and had a mountainous drive. At first it was dry and I killed it throu corners and straightaways. Eventually I hit snow (hard packed and slush) taking it all with no problem. When I arrive I felt further confirmation that the F80 is one hell of an all around car. I'm all about function and a p car would be fun on the weekends, but annoy me for trips like this (which I do often for golf and boarding).

When I don't wash her in more than 2 weeks, I feel quite guilty.

I hit the speed warning passing someone the other day with no effort at all. I think it is set at 110. Need to be more careful.

Totally agreed... this is way too easy... I got it up to 103 before backing down... still in break-in.
