Wondering if anyone has any regrets with...

I have always been a Ferrari and Porsche guy and have never owned a Lambo.
Currently have a 488 GTB and was going to order a 488 Spider.
Last week I drove a Performante coupe and liked it and am now considering getting a P-Spyder.
Has anyone coming from the F or P world regretted getting a Lambo ?
Would you mind sharing your thoughts on likes, dislikes and regrets, if any, of owning a Performante/Lambo vs another exotic brand.

I was in the same exact situation. I switched form a 991 911 Turbo to a Huracan. IMO the Porsche is a "safe" car choice. Its very fast but I never get excited about driving it. Its comfortable, sporty, fast, reliable and looks relatively nice. (I feel the same with my daily driver thats an F85 X5M) Thats about that. I had the sport chrono option. Sport Mode in the 911 is very manageable (somewhat soft) but Sport Plus seems a little excessive in the rev handling unless your on a track ready to go race. I thought about the GT3RS which is around the same ballpark as the Huracan but the interior was much more track ready than i prefer. The Huracan is more exciting to drive right off the start. It definitely checks the box on the looks department in appearance and attention. It not as luxury of a car as the 911 with heated/cooling seats, homelink garage opener, memory seats, etc but it still a luxurious interior with adjustable seats, headed seats and nice trimmings. Driving the Huracan sparks more of an excitement and emotion. I have the coupe which gives slightly more seat room than the spyder.

The 3 driving modes in the Huracan:
Strada: It feels like driving an Audi S5 (very comfortable, soft, ride)
Sport: The engine management does a very good job at cruising around the city and lower speeds and the exhaust crackle is addicting. Its very responsive
Corsa: I dont really use this as sport is good enough for me.

I would say if your looking for a combination of sport and luxury the Huracan is the way to go. More luxury and some sport then the Porsche. Ready to race, the GT#RS or the F430 Scuderia CS. All come down to what you want out of it. Oh and to answer the original question. No Regrets.
