I will say that they are definitely not a "cruiser," type of car where you simply sit back and enjoy the ride. These cars need to be driven by a driver, and there's surprisingly quite a bit going on when moving down the road in one of these beauties.

I don't know for sure what you are expecting, but I think they are great to drive. It's refreshing to get into a car that actually requires some effort and thought, rather than some of these gadget filled luxo-cruisers that are sold nowdays.

I say go for it, and best of luck in your searching. Good ones are hard to find and can be quite expensive if you are looking for a collectible model.
