UK buyer looking for advice

Yes, there are definite issues using it as a DD, particularly in the climate of Southwestern Ontario. However, at my age, I want to enjoy every kilometre/mile as much as I can. Almost nothing puts a smile on my face more than getting in and enjoying this great car for what it is, almost, every day of the year. Yes, I occasionally have to find a way around driveways with too steep an approach angle. Yes, I have to drive my wife's Volvo XC90 once or twice in the winter when the roads are impossible in the C8 even with my Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4s. But, who cares? Just too much fun.

Agree, the roads in the UK will be a bit more challenging in a C8 than a Cayman. It's thirstier and has a bit less storage space.
Finally, the biggest issue may be answering questions about what you're driving. The UK has more than its share of automotive exotica but, personally, I've never seen a C8 on the roads there.

LIfe is short. Enjoy every moment that we're given. (And, Come on you Eagles!!!)

Not that thirsty really if you keep your foot out of it . Just climbed out after a 500k trip today and it is showing a best of 6.7l / 100km and 7.1 average which I would say is pretty respectable. And that was at 110 to 125 kph .
