In all honesty I think the M4 and the F Type are direct competitors. The apples to oranges comparison is the F Type and a 911 which are very incomparable due to crazy different drivetrain layouts and a massive price difference. |

The M4 is FR 2+2 COMPETITOR Lexus RC/Maserati GC The F type is a 2 seat FR/FAWD COMPETITOR. MB AMG GTS/AUDI R8 AND THE 911 is a 2+2 seat RR COMPETITOR NO 1. lol When I compare. I compare performance and price range. Not just price range, cuz that's not truly being competitive.

You are still obviously comparing the F Type R, there is no way a base 340 hp base model F Type is competing with a MB GTS. In the top R trim sure you are spot on but comparing a base F Type to a MB GTS or an R8 is comparing a sports car to a super car. A BASE F Type performs on the level of a Nismo Z and it weighs more. There is no way I would compare it to super cars. The F Type R with that beastly 500 HP v8 is a different story all together, but the OP wasn't asking about the F Type R, just the base model. |

Now those are some choices op should look at! Lotus makes great cars, except I have never heard much on reliability. Alfa's unfortunately have not been doing to great in the reliability categories in JD Power polls last I saw. |

There's a reason people say Lotus stands for "lots of trouble, usually serious ".
