Don't get bored of driving my esprit, and yes, it still feels exciting everytime i drive it.
Only time i ever wanted something else was when i was using it as a daily driver in the winter, getting stuck in traffic etc on my 100mile commute to work. I bought a golf gti soon afterwards, keeping the esprit for weekends only. I've now moved closer to work so the esprit is my daily driver again and i'm loving it. Total of 4 years and 60,000 miles in esprits so far.
It has never felt slow when i'm driving in normal traffic or clear roads. Only time I ever felt like it could do with more power is when i'm running with my friend in his 550 Maranello.
If anyone's interested, i was at an esprit meet this weekend. Didn't take any pics myself but here's a few my friends took.
