[@Arinis.ltd.]

great reviews..however the backgeound music doesn't match with the videos..and it is extremely louder than the host's voice

Have one - love it

[@jayrermars8493]

Thinking of buying one. How's the reliability? Do you use the paddle shifters?

[@paulmitchell1805]

@@jayrermars8493 very reliable. Paddle shifters much better than auto in sport and a fantastic drive.

[@jayrermars8493]

@@paulmitchell1805 Thanks for the info. I have the 2010 GT but find the suspension gives a rough ride. I understand there's a comfort mode on the new GT, does this give a smoother ride? Also does it come with reversing camera as standard?
