If you want a four seater they even do those, but finding a group operating one is harder as they are more recent.
I'd love a share in one of those as well, but I'm unconvinced that's the right first aeroplane or syndicate for a new PPL, nor that any syndicate operating one - given it's an expensive and fairly high performance aeroplane - particularly wanting anybody with less than, say, 100hrs P1, joining.
