I drove a similar (997 911S Cabriolet) for nearly 12 years and sold it for a bit less than what I paid originally. How many "six figure" cars can you drive 12 years for free? Only a 911!
I know my opinion doesn't and shouldn't matter to this audience, but I've got a ICE Macan (with only 300 miles on it) as a loaner from my dealership and I hate the way this car drives. It feels and drives like a truck and is best suited to soccer moms. I'd go back to a 911 before I'd buy one of...
i think in all fairness to your study that you need to survey current owners of the BMW. I predict all the BMW owners will tell you something 180 degrees opposite the Taycan owners. It's a fool's errand. And FWIW I'd choose a Porsche over a BMW any day, and I've owned both.
Every time I see this post title at the top of my forum top hits, i have to roll my eyes. Its a reductive argument, like comparing a new shiny apple to a moldy orange. Can we kill this thread please and replace it with something useful. We are at 7 pages for heaven's sake. Anyone still stuck...
I've driven San Diego to Monterey (along Route 1) and back and relied on A Better Route Planner, Electrify America and Plugshare apps. That was before CarPlay added some route planning features which might be worth using. My biggest takeaways: the car's range was always a bit better than the...
Whenever I see a BMW of any variety (including "competition"), and I know the owner sees me, I imagine him (most likely a him) thinking to himself "damn, I could have bought a Porsche." Or maybe he even says "should have." I could be wrong. Its what I would be thinking if I bought the BMW you...
Drove my 911S Cab for 12 years and apart from the dreaded IMS bearing failure (do your research, it afflicted the earlier models), my car rarely required any service. The intervals for oil changes was ridiculously long which can give you a false sense of security. I sold the car for close to...
I don't have time to read 10 pages on this topic but hope my response here provides some perspective: I've owned 4 Porsches (hence my handle) and a boatload of other American and imports (mostly German: MB & BMW). I also have a (yawn) Tesla. I am loyal to the Porsche brand for a reason. The...
I just got an email from [email protected] on account of my 911 and wonder if others have received as well. I haven't quite digested the whole thing but I believe it pertains to the VW scandal with cars not meeting emission requirements (and being outfitted to cheat the...
