This is my 3rd manual M car (F80, F87C, G87) and I absolutely love it. The car is a huge step up from the F series and an absolute gem to drive with the 6 speed. The transmission is really enjoyable and the car is fast as all hell.
Here's my hot take:
1. The car is a rocket. It is significantly faster than a F87 when you get into power band. The thing is, the power bands are simply tuned differently in the two cars (one is for low/mid range while the other is mid/upper range).
2. The car handles much better than the F87 (front end grip is great, the back end grip is progressive). It's not like the F87 handled bad or anything, it's a great car that is super enjoyable to drive, pure even. It's just that the G87 simply has more grip and you can extract more out of it.
3. The overall quality of the car is higher.
4. It's priced like a Cayman but competes with the 911 (2 door coupe with 4 seats, 6 speed manual, small-ish, RWD, comes with carbon buckets, both have 6 cylinder turbo motors, both German, etc...)

Frankly, if you can drive one, drive one, the car is a 10/10.
