You guys looking at the 718 as a replacement to the f80, frankly it has crossed my mind as well, how do you compare cabin comfort one vs the other? I walked up to a 718 conv yesterday at a dealership, not having enough time to go in and get into an exchange with a sales guy, so I just peaked into one and it looked really tiny, the seats seemed like they were almost half the size. I do plan on going back and getting into one and see for myself but am wondering what the consensus is here over size and comfort going from an f82 to the 718 from those of you that have sat and taken test drives? I'm 6' and 220lbs, 38" waist and thinking my fat ass has no chance.

I wonder if I should go bug my local dealer and take a look at the 718 boxsters even though I would only want a cayman

I'm surprised at the amount of Porsche fanbois on this site.
Porsche has a great reputation, great car, but the M4 is no slouch either. For example - LOL at the thought that driving an M3/4 is not fun or sporty.

Once my kids are out of the house...I think P car will be on the list. But right now, I can "justify" the M4 due to back seats.

Ummmm.....who said the M3/4 is not fun or sporty? Having said that, if you think the M3/4 is a sports car I'd rather not have any further discussion with you because you obviously haven't a clue what a sports car is. Drive a 981, Vette, Viper, Miata, R8 et al and then tell me how much of a sports car the M3/M4 is.

"If you like driving" pick the Cayman. This clearly implies the M is no fun to drive in your opinion. And for the stuff you are writing, you should know better than to reply in such an elitist manner. I've driven all the cars you listed other than R8, but I have owned a couple RS4s. Anyways, I don't need to justify myself to some random dude/dudette on the internet. Your response just reinforces the opinion I got when reading the thread initially.

"Sports car versus sporting models A car may be a sporting automobile without being a sports car. Performance modifications of regular, production cars, such as sport compacts, sports sedans, muscle cars, hot hatches and the like, generally are not considered sports cars, yet share traits common to sports cars. They are sometimes called "sports cars" for marketing purposes for increased advertising and promotional purposes. Performance cars of all configurations are grouped as Sports and Grand tourer cars or, occasionally, as performance cars" The M4 is a sports car in my eyes because it can do some damage on back roads and on the track in its stock configuration... And calling it a sports car makes me feel good

Second, we are now buying a new home soon, so unfortunately with those factors I had to sell. I really miss that car. It is an amazing machine. Sapphire Blue is a beautiful color, but grabs A LOT of attention. My Sapphire Blue GT4 got actually too much attention, so just be aware of that. It didn't bother me too much, and all of it was positive. But yeah, I would consider it again. Although I typically like to try different colors when I get a new car. |

but i'm not all that surprised, both german, both with storied history of motorsports, both with trickled-down / homologation racekar tech in street cars. just both executed somewhat differently. i am looking to make that transition to Porsche, but really only the GT cars. I think I'm in search of a more raw/direct driving experience. But the big barrier to entry is obviously the price point. Porsche GT cars are essentially double the cost of a M3, i need to somehow convince the wife to allow me to move up to the next level in car value class.

It's all good.... This is the "VS." forum, so fanbois of other brands are going to show up.
My personal favorite brands (even though I am open to a lot car brands) are BMW and Porsche. But that's actually pretty common anyway. A lot of BMW fans appreciate the Porsche marque and vice versa. I am sure for a lot of people here an ideal garage would consist of a GT3/GT4 and an M3.... plus whatever POS SUV on the side for hauling stuff or kids. |
