Introducing Myself
Hi everyone...I’ve owned 3 M3’s in a row, and late last year got into a 2018 Audi S4. Plans are underway to get into a 718 next year, so looking forward to learning all about this platform. Thx!

Welcome, Steve! Sounds like the 718 will be your first Porsche. As a mid-engine fanatic, I don't think you could do any better. As you get closer to pulling the trigger, don't hesitate to ask questions.

Thanks for the warm welcome! What I need to figure out for myself is am I ok driving a pretty flashy car...I prefer to drive cars that have great performance but a bit more under the radar...but it is so tempting (and a dream of mine) to own a mid engine near supercar.

My previous cars have always been 'modest'. Now I'm in a Racing Yellow Boxster and loving it.
It isn't really a supercar--just the best sport car in it's class (and possibly more).

You will love the 718. Those 2 you mentioned are not sports cars in any way. 718 is a different world...

I ordered my 718 Boxster in April. It is my first Porsche. I jumped from BMW 328, and being a BMW fan for years. The mid engine Boxster is my dream car. I order GT Silver and find she blends in. I was almost ordering an M2 to keep under the radar, but I am very pleased with the Boxster. If you order allow 5-7 months for delivery. Porsche builds less vehicles than BMW and allocations take time depending on dealer. BMW order process is 5 weeks solid and easy to work with. Porsche requires more patience. Ordered Apr 11, Locked Jul 5, built Jul 12, received late Sep.
