Have you driven a 718? I know everyone pines over the loss of the NA-6, but I am curious if it is really as bad as the P-Car 'mudgeons make it out to be. I know I've mentioned it a number of times before and am in the vast minority, but I didn't like how much you had to wring out the MA1 to get the car to feel quick. After having the m3 for a while, you may find the lack of torque less appealing then when you had the 987.
Granted, the biggest reason I got the 991.2 was because I didn't want a turbo 4... but don't let my snobbery get in the way of a smart decision.

Also, the bitching about the loss of the NA H6 is not a 'mudgeons thing. It's pretty universal. Nobody is faulty the actual performance - it's how it feels and sounds. |

I also go through this with the sound of the 911 ... sometimes I am loving it and other times I feel it is annoying. The big picture is most of the time these cars sound good and they feel good. I am not biased because I have the Cayman ... I never wanted one until I got one as a loaner and was surprised by how good it felt and truthfully for the price it was a bargain compared to the price of a 911 ... mine is a 2019 and had 1,200 miles on it ... I do not think I will keep it long term (though who knows ) but it is a really enjoyable car and i’m having fun with it. Last edited by Alan; 08-12-2020 at 11:15 AM. |

You may know, but espresso is "natural leather" which is much softer and niceer than their regular seats. It also has leather on the door panels, which means they won't warp and deform. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbRDV87JfvE If the boxster espresso natural package is anything like the 911, it has leather EVERYWHERE... https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...explained.html Have you added the vinanalytics chrome extrension, so you can just click it from any sale ad and see the options list? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...dgnbbcoglahode

Seems like the right car at a ... well I don’t know anything about prices, but it seems reasonable.

looks like it has a built in laser jammer and escort 360 radar detector.
