Hello there,

First off I’ve got to get this out of the way.
As a native French speaker I will occasionally make mistakes so please bear with me.
I am a somewhat new member and have been lurking on this forum for quite a while reading you guys valuable info on 911s.
The 911 being my first Porsche I am facing an interesting choice/question:
Should I get a 997 s/4s ? or a Base 991 Carrera would do ?
I am coming from 2008 BMW 335 xi, 2013 BMW 335i xDrive and I have been utterly disappointed in the way new 3 series handle (they have gotten soft and less surefooted)
Performance/handling is my primary focus here.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Look at the other sections as you are in the air cooled 911 section.

Yes... look in the water-cooled sites, but it's a matter of money.

Typically, the newer 911 is the better, and the 991 is better than a 997, but not 40% better. The 997 is a really great car, so for the difference, a clean used 997 Carrara S is a very good alternative to a new base model 991...

I bet you'll love either of them.

I would choose a 997.2 I've a 911 every day of the week.

Which means a 2009 or later model. But outside the US, maybe they started in 2008? In any case, ensure is has the "9A1" direct injection engine.
