It definitely has M3 like power, but the driving experience didn't feel close to the recent F82 I drove.

Are you planning on leasing another Giulia?
I meant that in terms of daily driver it's closer to the M3. Just not comfortable enough, and without the steering/driving feel upgrade to justify it.

I don't think so because it's essentially leasing the same car, nothing has really changed and I like variety. I was the only person at the M Town day who really wanted to drive the M340i because it's something I'm actually considering, not just going there to get a chance behind an M5 competition.

This thread is pretty much my next car choice + used M2 w/ manual. I want a relatively normal sized (for 10 years ago I guess) sedan that's fun to drive and would love a standard (know that won't happen). It just feels people like me have been totally left behind by the industry today
