But why? I know bits of why this is, but I would like to be enlightened as to why, from a technical standpoint, the 996 is so bad, and why if the 993 is so great, did pdz ditch it for a subaru.
I've never have had the pleasure of driving a Porsche, so I can only go by what I read and see.
So please indulge me and tell what your opinions on both the 993 and 996 are as well as opinions on coupe vs cabrio vs targa and overal reliability comparisons.
*Just because know that looks/comfort are always a factor, my opinion is that the 993 is the most beautiful 911 ever from the outside but the interior, while classic, is dated and spartan. The 911 looks only so-so from the outside, and the interior while not great is much better than the 993.

where would you like me to start?
street driving?
my lone track experience?
commuting in it?
trying to get parts for it?
this could take up the entire hard drive of b'evolution.
