1. I got 992, I was debating , but 992 generation got me in every aspect, the interior become so nice, classic with modern touch. It is not my only car but I only drive it. Commute 50 miles per day but it is worth every penny as for m3, bought my wife x3 it just seems m3 interior just not enough to make me feel special then regular 3 so why bother go with m I’m not racing nobody on the freeway, to me I only judged my cars inside and appearance hoursrpower isn’t everything. I would say m3 just not going to make you feel special enough

 

I was cross-shopping a BRZ, M2, and 992. Completely different price points, but I was looking for 2+2 couple with manual transmission

 

I think a lot of people do this.

Cross-shop features, and not so much price (though price is a factor).

 

Just traded in a 2020 Taycan 4S. Will be trading in a 2020 Cayenne Turbo S for a Targa4 GTS. I'm also keeping my 2017 Macan Turbo. If the Macan means 2 SUV's...you won't go wrong with it. Otherwise, I would skip the M3 if you don't need another 4 door

 

I’ve tried to have two fun cars before. Unfortunately, it just ends up that one is the daily and gets frequent use, while the other mostly sits. I don’t do a ton of weekend just-for-fun driving, mostly it’s the daily commute. And invariably, it’s the new car that gets driven and parked in the garage, while the old one sits out baking in the sun.

 

how was the S2000 to own? Of course a dream car of my youth, I kind of wonder what I’d think of it were I given a chance to own one now.

 

Surprisingly raw. Lots of nice mechanical noises. There was a nice change in character when vtec hit, almost like boost. That high rpm was addicting and the car was animal when it got screaming. Gear change was very mechanical feeling. That car is front mid engine and feels like it.

The lack of low end torque was comical, but that made the contrast even more fun. At low speeds, it’s slower than a civic.

Unfortunately, the combination of snap oversteer, a wet road, and driving like an idiot = totaled car.

EDIT: One more thing to add - because of the lower power you basically drove the thing like a motorcycle. In other words, you are revving it out constantly. It's from the best era of Honda and bulletproof. Drive it like you stole it and the car was a blast and never complained.

 

Here you go, sort of....

i have both. 2020 992 Carrera and 2021 M3 non Comp.

I prefer the M3 as a daily. Fast, comfortable and has all the infotainment gadget. This car goes through bumps and road imperfections flawlessly.

The 992 is a weekend car. Something that I take out from Home to point A and back home. Definitely more of leisure car (even with PASM suspension).

Budget conversation set aside, between the two is a matter of how you're planning on using it.

 

Both are amazing cars but the M3 has a manual transmission available and that is a prerequisite in all my cars.

interestingly I had similar situation .I took a corner hot , road was wet suddenly I found myself on the other side .Luckily no cars were on the other lane
I had two S2000 and they were both fun little cars

 

Yep - ruthless mid-engine, RWD nonlinear power and zero traction control (at least AP1 and early AP2 like mine). If that car had more power, it would be a widow maker.

I cannot imagine Honda making a car like this again.

 

Amazing for me, AP1 here. Only car I've ever regretted selling. Would take it over any of my current cars at the moment.

 

Anyone considering the new 2023 M2? I just got a BMW 2022 BMW 230 as a daily(too many carjacks going on here in socal; especially Porsche) & got on the waitlist for a 2023 M2. Just curious what you folks think of the 2023 M2. Cheers.

 

The BMW is not completive with any Porsche car. I say ditch the BMW and get a Porsche.
