Hello everyone. I am looking for some opinions from GP3 owners that also may have come from a 2018 through 2024 JCW.
I found a GP3 with 38,000 miles for just under 35,000 and of course that one comes with 301 hp no backseats yada yada yada. The other car that I’m considering is a 2024 JCW with 12,000 miles for 36,500. As I’m sure you know the JCW only comes with 228 hp and no limited slip compared to the GP3 that not only has the limit slip but over 300 hp and over 300 torque.

Part of me once they get the GP3 because of the more powerful engine and torque along with the limited slip and strong eight speed automatic, but that one is pretty much already done as far as appearance with wing and fenders and such although I’m not a huge fan of the fenders on that car. On the other hand, the JCW is less powerful, but is a blank canvas as far as valances and wings and hoods and that such and without rebuilding the engine to the GP3 reliability there’s no way to get the JCW to make that kind of horsepower that the GP3 does.

So the opinion I’m looking for is which one would you pick based on your experience with both cars and why you would pick one over the other. I not sure but I think the 8 speed in the gp3 I stronger then the 8spped in the JCW. I appreciate any responses that anyone takes the time to leave!!!

ps. I lost my right leg above the knee last April so I can no longer drive manual and have to sell my 2 R53‘s and bye an auto.

 

If you want to buy to customize and personalize, get the JCW. If you want one for the performance, get the GP3. I would personally get the GP3.

 

Well I just put a deposit on a GP3 . I pick it up Tuesday,#0773. 38k miles.

my new question is does anyone know where I can get a replacement center console that has NAV built in. I know this one has back up camera and door zone climate but I don’t think it has NAV. I think there was a different option you could get at purchase that had NAV.

 

Pretty sure they come with CarPlay, as long as you have an iPhone
