vision package by far. It's very difficult to see in every direction, probably the most annoying thing. Unfortunately the dealer didn't even flinch when I passed on it, such a mistake.

Raise your seat an inch or 2. It makes a huge difference in visibility.

Raising the seat also makes unaided rear visibility much better.
However, I don't have a huge amount of head clearance either being quite tall.

Thanks everyone for your input!

To clarify i am looking for a 2015. New or lightly used is fine.

Seem to be a couple out there and some decent deals. Used f type r with non carbon brakes appear to be had for upper 80s with low mileage /well equipped. (Msrp of 108)

Sounds like the vision pack is a must.

The search continues. Will let folks know when a purchase is made.

Keep the input coming!
