Right now I have two cars, and Audi Q5 TDI and a Tesla Model S 85D. The Tesla I love driving and it's the perfect family wagon for my family (My 80 pound dog fits happily in the back). The Audi Q5 is a competent car, but I hate driving it. The transmission is slow to shift and the turbo lag combined with the conservative transmission drives me mad. With the Tesla (that my wife stole from me) that can be my family car. So I'm looking at selling the Audi and getting a type of German Sports Coupe (Manual transmission is a must so it's pretty much German cars). Next March is my Wife and I's 10 year wedding anniversary so I would want to do the European delivery.
For the longest time, I was actually considering a BMW M3. I have two young kids (7 and 4) and the extra doors seem like they would be a good idea. But it's still kind of big for me (I loved the e46 M3, and that was perfect size). The M4 seems huge (the proportions are off), and kind of blah to me. I drove an M235i, and that was a fun car, but a little dull for me. The BMW dealers in my area (Denver, CO) aren't making me feel good about a getting an M2 (Only MSRP, no Euro Delivery)
So the other day I said "fuck it" went to the local Porsche dealer. I've always thought the Porsche for me would have been the Cayman (Price plus Mid-engine chassis), but I would have to hold off since with my two kids I at least need some kind of seats for them. But I checked out a 911 and drove a Carrera 4. I have to say I was impressed, and now I can't stop thinking about. The BMW M cars now seem to be regular cars made sporty and now that I've driven a ground up sports car that I'm in love...
Any Porsche owners on here that can tell me if Porsche's are really that reliable? I would be looking at just a Base Carrera with the only options being the 4-way sports seats, Glass panorama roof and Sirius XM...
